Franklin D. Roosevelt: he was Roosevelt was
born on January 30, 1882, in the Hudson Valley town of Hyde Park, New York to
businessman James Roosevelt I (1828–1900) and Sara Ann Delano (1854–1941). His
parents were sixth cousins, and both were from wealthy old New York families.
Roosevelt entered Columbia Law School in 1904, but dropped out in 1907 after he
passed the New York State Bar exam. He however later received a posthumous J.D.
from Columbia Law School In 1908; he took a job with the prestigious Wall Street
firm of Carter Ledyard & Milburn, dealing mainly with corporate law. He was
first initiated in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and was initiated into
Freemasonry on October 11, 1911, at Holland Lodge No. 8 in New York City.
As World War II loomed after 1938, with the
Japanese invasion of China and the aggression of Nazi Germany, FDR gave strong
diplomatic and financial support to China and Great Britain, while remaining
officially neutral. His goal was to make America the "Arsenal of Democracy"
which would supply munitions to the Allies. In March 1941, Roosevelt, with
Congressional approval, provided Lend-Lease aid to the countries fighting
against Nazi Germany with England, Scotland, and Wales. With very strong
national support, he made war on Japan and Germany after the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, calling it a "date which will live in infamy".
He supervised the mobilization of the U.S. economy to support the Allied war
effort. As an active military leader, Roosevelt implemented an overall war
strategy on two fronts that ended in the defeat of the Axis Powers and the
development of the world's first atom bomb. In 1942 Roosevelt ordered the
internment of 100,000 Japanese American
civilians.
