Franklin D. Roosevelt initially maintained a position of neutrality regarding World War II, reflecting the widespread isolationist sentiment in the United States. However, as the conflict escalated and threats from Axis powers grew, he began to support Allied nations through measures such as the Lend-Lease Act. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Roosevelt fully committed the U.S. to the war effort, framing it as a struggle for democracy and freedom against tyranny. His leadership was pivotal in mobilizing American resources and support for the Allies.
FDR was paralyzed by Polio in the 1920s between the two world wars.

Before the United States entered World War II, Franklin D. Roosevelt served as President and was a strong advocate for supporting the Allies through various means, such as the Lend-Lease Act. Although he sought to maintain American neutrality, he increasingly recognized the threat posed by Axis powers and pushed for greater assistance to countries like Britain and China.
