And this country just HAD to have this guy for a 3rd and 4th term?
Like did they think WW2 would have turned out THAT different? FDR barely did much more than get out of smarter people’s way, and F-up the whole thing at Yalta.
The fellow with the New York Times from seventy years ago has the answer. FDR believed and got the public to believe that only he could keep the alliance together for a successful conclusion. He was completely convinced that only he could keep Stalin from making a separate peace with Hitler. FDR was also concerned that someone else would take to long to get to know Chruchill.
