On April 12th, 1945. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt died in Warm Springs, Georgia. One of his favourite places in the US to visit. (WWII in HD footage)
Washington.Lincoln. FDR. These are the three greatest presidents...the men who founded, preserved, and saved the country in their turn. We will perhaps never realize what or where we would be without them.
Jonathan Reyes to be honest I see JFK as more of an inspiration to go into the unknown. Then again, he was one of the major players of stopping the Cuban Missile Crisis morphing into World War 3.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt is one of y favorite Presidents of all time. He didn't just pull our fatherland though one crisis, but two: the Great Depression in the 1930's and the Second World War in the 1940's. Sometimes I wonder, what could he have achieved if he didn't die? Rest in Peace sir. Franklin Delano Roosevelt 30th of January, 1882 - 12th of April, 1945
He put his life in risk for his country and he saved it twice from two really hard crisis i bet no other person can do better or atleast near his skill as President
Taylor F. newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/FDR-s-Policies-Prolonged-Depression-5409 "President Roosevelt believed that excessive competition was responsible for the Depression by reducing prices and wages, and by extension reducing employment and demand for goods and services," said Cole, also a UCLA professor of economics. "So he came up with a recovery package that would be unimaginable today, allowing businesses in every industry to collude without the threat of antitrust prosecution and workers to demand salaries about 25 percent above where they ought to have been, given market forces. The economy was poised for a beautiful recovery, but that recovery was stalled by these misguided policies." Using data collected in 1929 by the Conference Board and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Cole and Ohanian were able to establish average wages and prices across a range of industries just prior to the Depression. By adjusting for annual increases in productivity, they were able to use the 1929 benchmark to figure out what prices and wages would have been during every year of the Depression had Roosevelt's policies not gone into effect. They then compared those figures with actual prices and wages as reflected in the Conference Board data. In the three years following the implementation of Roosevelt's policies, wages in 11 key industries averaged 25 percent higher than they otherwise would have done, the economists calculate. But unemployment was also 25 percent higher than it should have been, given gains in productivity. Meanwhile, prices across 19 industries averaged 23 percent above where they should have been, given the state of the economy. With goods and services that much harder for consumers to afford, demand stalled and the gross national product floundered at 27 percent below where it otherwise might have been. "High wages and high prices in an economic slump run contrary to everything we know about market forces in economic downturns," Ohanian said. "As we've seen in the past several years, salaries and prices fall when unemployment is high. By artificially inflating both, the New Deal policies short-circuited the market's self-correcting forces."
Taylor F. It would not "magically fix itself", but it's wrong to consider all policies of Roosevelt as beneficial. In fact, the Great Depression would not become a depression, more of a recession, if the United States used proper monetary policy (lowering interest rates and bumping up quantitative easing (creating more new money)) without necessarily expanding fiscal policy (without needing more government spending)
FDR is one of the principal architects of the modern US presidency and the global order that we see today. He ensured the safety and security of generations in his time, and the many billions to come. Greatest of the great ones.
@@KTChamberlain Yes but it was stated by the founding fathers that the idea overtime was to transition into one. Especially John Adams put grave emphasis on this. What makes the American Republic so uniquely different was how well we transferred it, (with the exception of race and sexuality). It was always planned to be that way. Why do you think all of our government buildings are designed architectural in Neo Classical Greek. To show the transition. The fathers knew that the uneducated couldn’t vote in fear of destroying democracy and the republic until they had substantial access to education. The whisky rebellion in Pittsburgh was a perfect example of this. Overtime thanks to great works from social economists of the time like Adam Smith they knew that all classes would have access to education and wanted to amend the vote to be universal for white men and thanks to many good social movements including the great awakenings which encouraged men and women of all environments to read more, and help educate themselves Instead of relying on the system agnatic Universal suffrage was passed Relatively quickly and done very stable for White men, which for the time is a remarkable achievement. Just like in Athens It originally started out as a partial democracy developed into a more freer democratic republic and then in some cases in on some legislations a full democracy. Once the material conditions got better for everyone and everyone had access to education through a non-centralized mean Democratization would be inevitable or it would be going against the true traditions and beliefs of what the American republic stood for. Simply by not following the heavily influenced English law and Greek model.
@Marcelo Robles It still does It’s just a lot more complicated now Lotta great things of happened though such as equality of opportunity in legislation Blind to race and to gender. But unfortunately with material advances it is hard for the population to keep up with these rapid occurrences as their (our) collective Vigilancity, isn’t as strong as it once was before due to so many changes in the system. This makes it completely And more likely to breed corruption in the most highest of establishments
Please don't forget Washington. Had be been a diffrent kind of person, he might have made himself King or Dictator. Without the initial impulses he set after winning the war against the English, America would have become a very different country - most likely not the Superpower it is today.
Wonderful quality! Just happened to notice that the gentleman the camera is focused on at 4:20, as it is said that Harry Truman was the untested new president, isn't Harry Truman. I'm wondering if it was Treasury Secretary Henry Mogenthau, Jr. But maybe not. Whoever it was had the secret service protecting him. Anyone know?
In his last year of life, he was in very poor health and a lot of pain. The skin cancer above his right eyebrow had metastasized, spread throughout his body. Had he not had a stroke, he’d have died from cancer within a couple weeks.
Did you know that My Late Grandpa who was primarily My moms now Late Stepdad Who sadly had passed on in December of 2009 his Grandfather And President Truman we’re actually very good Friends back in their home in Independence Missouri and that they used to go Walking Together each day and when FDR had won a Fourth Term as President in November of 1944 people who had concern about Truman if something were to happen to FDR kept wondering how will this Truman Guy know how run the Presidency and that’s when My Grandpas Grandfather then stepped up and was able to explain to those countless and various crowds of people to then say very clearly that you don’t worry Harry Truman Of anything Happens to Roosevelt he’s his own man and he’ll know what to do with the Presidency !
Nothing good from him it all came from you. His solutions needed your tax dollars. And he got us into the greatest Ponzi scheme of all social security. Is a Ponzi scheme because it always requires more workers than beneficiaries. As long as this is the case then everything works right but now it's not working right because it's not the case. It can never solve itself. You either have to have people working more years, increase their taxes on the system or come up with a replacement tax. This is why we have to have healthcare. This is your replacement tax. But how do you convince the people to have healthcare why do you have to have healthcare why are you mandating that we pay this tax coronavirus this is why this is how we do it this is because we won't give up on these other programs not just social security but welfare we won't give up and say these ideas are of no use they are no good it is a missed deal it is a mistake it is stupid it doesn't work!
The rumor was that if world War II had ended and he was still alive he would have retired from the presidency. People that were closest to him new how ill he truly was but he was so determined to see the end of it.
You know I'd really hate to say it. The government don't wanna see. But if Roosevelt was livin. He wouldn't let this be no, no. They don't care about us.
This man served as the UNITED STATES PRESIDENT for 13 years. Imagine at that time living throughout life, all the stress that got to FDR took a toll on him. THE STRONGEST PRESIDENT TO EVER BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE IN MY OPINION.
So now what If 🇺🇸FDR Had Actually Lived on And let’s say Up Until Late 1945 Or 1948 following 🇯🇵Japan’s Surrender And what exactly would the Very Outcome Of WW2 have been like And would have Either Invaded MainLand 🇯🇵Japan Or would he have decided to have used the Atomic Bomb And Also what kind of Course would the Cold War have gone down especially by the year of 1947 when the 🔴Red Scare Had began ???? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What If FDR hadn’t died suddenly in April 1945 and had lived to have witnessed the Very End Of WW2 And Exactly What kind of Course would the Cold War have gone down and also who would taken FDR’s Place In 1948 as President Of The United States also would Truman have run for The Presidency In 1948 ? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸??
People saying he pulled us through 2 crisis'.... He solved 1 with the other, WWII got us out of the depression, not political policies. Which is why when the US is in economic trouble, it goes to war with somebody. Even to this day... Hed also never be able to get 1/3 of the shit he got done in todays political sphere.

He would achieved a lot avoiding The Cold War. It would be exceedingly too great to imagine.
@@soybasedjeremy3653 i dont know if the cold war was avoidable. maybe if we didnt let the russians take berlin
@@AroundSun Perhaps at a later date in time it could of happened, then again we might not be here.
As a world leader in the world war he was without equal but I think Lincoln has the most loving character.
Perhaps the greatest President America ever had...
No, Theodore Roosevelt was the best.
He was a very good president - but there are other contenders
Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln are contenders...I personally do not have a favourite but those guys are in a similar league...
It’s FDR he’s a serious contender
Lincoln, FDR, Washington, TR.
He put his life in risk for his country and he saved it twice from two really hard crisis i bet no other person can do better or atleast near his skill as President
aman
It has been proven that Roosevelt prolonged the Great Depression because of his policies. He hasn't saved America from two crises, just one - the war.
Bart, could you back that up please? And how exactly would an economy that is stopped in its tracks just magically fix itself?

The man that saved our liberty.
The man that saved our country.
The man that saved our democracy.
F*ck Harriet Tubman! We need Roosevelt on the new $20.
I hate to be technical, but America is a republic. Nowhere in the Constitution does the word democracy appear.

Great tribute to a great wartime leader. Also great color footage from a time when color footage and photography was relatively rare.
Rest In Peace Franklin Delano Roosevelt. April 12, 1945
70 years ago this very minute 3:35pm
RIP President Franklin Delano Roosevelt 1882-1945
70 years ago on this day President Franklin Delano Roosevelt died!
Richard Canipe its sad
😭
He was the best president besides Abraham Lincoln.
Please don't forget Washington. Had be been a diffrent kind of person, he might have made himself King or Dictator. Without the initial impulses he set after winning the war against the English, America would have become a very different country - most likely not the Superpower it is today.
Just started his 4th term, that's a lot of respected stress
He didn't want the 4th term but felt he had to see WW2 through to its conclusion. He almost made it. He died 3 weeks before VE Day.
I can't believe he died a month before the Germany surrender.
2 in a half weeks
Allen Dury:"so ended and era, so begin another"
Inspiring to this day and beyond

Interesting find!!!
Truman had a full head of hair.
Who knows our next Franklin can very well be a child, unborn, running for president.
“I didn’t know FDR, but FDR knew me.”
Fun fact: Gary Sinise portrayed Harry Truman in the 1995 HBO movie "Truman."
My grandmother watched his funeral train roll through Northeast Georgia.
From 2:30, Narrator, Arther Godfrey, He was a well known radio commentator at the time.
Would anyone happen to know the name of the song that is played at 2:43
Littlw bit later but : FoodPlay Harry Gregson-Williams I think
Rest in peace fdr 😔🙏🇺🇸
RIP Mr President
Bless it be
In his last year of life, he was in very poor health and a lot of pain. The skin cancer above his right eyebrow had metastasized, spread throughout his body. Had he not had a stroke, he’d have died from cancer within a couple weeks.

Ok, I shouldn't laugh but when the narrator said the inexperienced Harry S. Truman, I actually heard the inexperienced hairy assed true man.
Lol same here
Best elected presiden in US. Maybe World?
I wish I could vote for him now.This election has been a joke all together.We need a good President.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt You could write him in lol
God bless you franklin d roosevelt i hope in the better place mr 😉🙏🇺🇸

related to him no lie
Young Tall Broad Man..crippled by Polio...
May given FDR..more resolve.
And so now what if FDR had actually lived on and up until the very end of WW2 ?
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 ?
The rumor was that if world War II had ended and he was still alive he would have retired from the presidency.
People that were closest to him new how ill he truly was but he was so determined to see the end of it.
This is my Dad's 4th cousin and 13 others who some I met too much like a friend of ours were killed by another car and crashed into a fire truck.
the world is a strange place...at the place of F.D.R. now sitting Trump... They have the same Place, both are the Presidents...Strange.
FDR was an outstanding President. And Gary Sinise does a great job narrating this documentary.
An outstanding president doesn't have his mistress living with him in the White House!
Kid President?
Moses did not survive to reach the Promised Land.
They didn't mention that his first mistress, Lucy Mercer Rutherford was with him. After he collapsed, she was quickly whisked away.
The documentary was more about the war. How is Lucy Mercer's being with FDR at the time of his death any relevant to the war?
You know I'd really hate to say it. The government don't wanna see.
But if Roosevelt was livin. He wouldn't let this be no, no. They don't care about us.
This man served as the UNITED STATES PRESIDENT for 13 years.
Imagine at that time living throughout life, all the stress that got to FDR took a toll on him.
THE STRONGEST PRESIDENT TO EVER BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE IN MY OPINION.
The world lost a giant and a tyrant in April 1945
