Although he did not name the aggressors, he was clearly talking about Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan. Roosevelt, the thirty-second president of the United States (1933-1945), was elected to four consecutive terms, instituted "New Deal" legislation to help pull the country out of the Great Depression, and led the country through the Second World War.
