Roosevelt took office in March 1933 during the worst economic crisis in American history, with unemployment near 25%. His New Deal programs reshaped the federal government's role in the economy. After Pearl Harbor was attacked in December 1941, he led the U.S. war effort until his death in April 1945, just months before Germany and Japan surrendered.
