Watch FDR, an epic three-night miniseries portrait of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, redefines our 32nd president's mythic place in American history, on HISTORY from 5/29 to 5/31.
If you read a good biography about FDR you realize that polio ironically was probably the best thing that ever happened to him. May sound like an asinine thing to say but that humbled him and put him on a saintly path to serve his fellow man. And serve he and she he did at a time when it was most needed. Similar to Lincoln and Washington. One of the great leaders in the History of not only America but the world.
Thats just cruel the guy was sending troops to Europe and the Pacific looking at the allied leaders you had stalin very paranoid man from Georgia 🇬🇪 Winston Churchill the goat cigar smoking Brandy drinking ect they all had there unique traits Italy Europe's soft underbelly with old weapons and outdated equipment Germany silly Austrian painter with a silly moustache also a nutcase
another irony is that his death may have been for the better despite him being one of our greatest presidents. im not sure hed have dropped them bombs like truman did
@@epsilon3821 The idea that FDR caused the depression is undermined by it starting under Hoover, and the Dust Bowl being a major reason why the brief recovery starting after 1929 was immediately decimated as massive swaths of the country became uninhabitable and crop production became pitiful.
@@smartfreak7105 Yes, and Japan and Germany were completely decimated by WW2 and yet they still recovered quicker than The Great Depression. READ Sowell's Basic Economics, the Dust Bowl is completely insignificant compared to the govt interventions stifling economic development.
One of the worst presidents ever. Tried to implement socialism, intimidated our judicial branch by trying to put more than 9 justices on the SC that we’re going to find his programs unconstitutional and let the backstabbing Stalin walk over him at yalta
Just imagine if FDR had been POTUS during the age of social media. The attention on his medical condition would be constant and his opponents would have called him old, tired and unfit to serve. Really puts into perspective how it's not these superficial factors that make a person capable of serving as POTUS, but the substance of the issues and policies
@@Lmeza-2121ofc he’s allowed to. But sounds quite delusional to speak their names in the same sentence, considering FDR is on another level. And let’s be honest Biden isn’t a good president. His substance is poor and his policies are even worse.
The Ken Burns documentary of WW2 has a fantastic scene where the Japanese-American soldiers fighting in Germany( for the country that imprisoned their families in the American detention camps) heard FDR had died and immediately charged a German position to honour him.
'Brought the world to its knees? 🍾😂🤣😂🤣... well if America had defeated the Natzies... Perhaps... But, it was the Russians who brought the Germans to its knees... Your statement sounds like it is coming from an Americana Encyclopedia. 😂🤣😂🤣. Not very factual.
Stalin may have thought he was able to play Churchill and Roosevelt by his smooth talk and charm, but he gained more conquest then and after him with the invasion of Czechoslavakia in 1968. Thank goodness the USSR was stopped in Afghanistan in 1980, or else the world would be scarred politically for generations. This is an excellent upload. THANK YOU!
I would consider myself the luckiest man in the world if we ever get another president as kind, compassionate, uplifting, motivating, paternal, steadfast, protective, and as wholly good as Franklin Roosevelt was.
Wrong, he caused the depression to be so long read Sowell. FDR is deeply idiotic and goes against Washington's vision of a non-intervening govt in the economy.
I wonder if anyone has investigated how FDR got to the conference in Yalta. I read that he did fly on military aircraft. Passage by sea was probably far more dangerous than flying. He did travel aboard ships. But there are probably secrets from WW2 that still exist. I'm sure Hitler was not too happy seeing the Conference proceed.
He arrived in Yalta on an Army Air Force C-54 transport plane that was modified as a personal transport for him. It was named The Sacred Cow by Roosevelt, and was later used for a time by Truman. It is now on display at the US Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio.
Germany also had little to no air support at that time. The RAF and USAF were dominating the skies by the time this conference happened. So there was pretty much no threat of a German air attack. Hitler’s Luftwaffe didn’t even have enough fuel and resources to try.

How can we have presidents like FDR he cared about his country his people and got us through the Great Depression and guided us through WW2 and today we have a president that you can’t even understand him and can’t even walk without falling down
2024 this country needs a leader, a uniter, a visionary for the next 50 years ! That person has not revealed themselves as of today. Hopefully they WILL, soon!!!
Noted for so many things but we tend to overlook his single most momentous decision, his secret and unilateral decision to pursue the worlds first nuclear weapons
He was only 63 years old when he died. I guess people aged differently at his time, and also the pressures of having been president for 12 years at the time of his death. After him we had Eisenhower, Reagan, Trump and Biden who are/were far older than FDR was. But I still think that the term limits amendment was a mistake. It should have restricted three consecutive terms but allowed for a non-consecutive third term.
FDR should not have run for 4th term, and held too much important information close to himself. FDR was very good but the Republic needs to move beyond one man and that was a lesson George Washington made to the young nation.

Wonder how FDR would've handled Stalin putting up the iron curtain/general falling out between the allied powers postwar. West wasn't really in a position to do anything but who knows.
And then Harry Truman vice president finished the job Roosevelt left behind by dropping the Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki eventually ending WWII.
I mean America wasn't merely altruistically concerned with 'Polish self-determination', they, like the Soviets, wanted a Polish government who'd be friendly to them, and the Soviets were more concerned given that Poland is right on their border so a friendly Poland was in their national interest, American propaganda wasn't tell the whole story
if stalin wouldnt go any farther west, then maybe he should have went east instead and they could have had the conference between stalin and roosevelt in Alaska or Kamchatka and conveniently uninvite churchill since he was undermined and voted out of office during the yalta conference anyway if i recall. maybe then the usa and ussr would have been able to see how similar they were and become more friendly and less hostile since britain loves to keep the two nations hostile when they are really natural allies with one another.
funny how this says fdr wanted to create the united nations considering everything i have ever seen heard or read stated it was Churchill's baby/pet project and key to Britain's interests and britain already had it nearly as a fait accompli before they even sprang it on fdr's administration and kind of coerced and cajoled fdr into very reluctantly supporting it the breton woods agreement to which they didnt invite stalin was very pro england and really sucks from the usa perspective and ussr didnt even get a voice or seat at the table, it was all about europe reluctantly letting their colonies go but not really and maintaining status quos and balances of power and europes feudal dominon over everyone else, and oh by the way usa you get to now be the worlds police man like it or not and do what england says or we will alter the agreement further ala darth vader.
7:01 that really was the wrong question and Truman really was the one in trouble now and people forget how smart Eleanor was, and that she was a Roosevelt twice over, she was a niece of Theodore Roosevelt having been born to Teddy's brother Elliot Roosevelt and his wife, and then married Teddy's Cousin Franklin Delano Roosevelt. if i recall correctly she was Teddy's favorite relative pretty much growing up and tutored by him somewhat at least etcetera.
9:01 exactly he could have been like andrew jackson did with the trail of tears forced march and thumbed his nose at the supreme court and been like you and what army can contradict me and done what he wanted anyway when the supreme court kept time and time again shooting down as unconstitutional his programs to help the us and its people and pull us up out of the great depression instead he just let the programs go and tried to make better ones or rework them so they were consitutional even if sometimes just barely, because he believed in abiding by the laws and frameworks and working within them.
"redefines our 32nd president's mythic place in American history" accurately describes this content. It replaces any realistic evaluation of FDR's time in office with an official mythology of him as the faultless hero who never made a single mistake ever. Including at Yalta. One would think that enough time had passed that it would be possible to at least do balanced treatments of the good and bad of a historical figure like FDR. But not so.
True. And no one, I mean no one, is ever perfect! FDR made many mistakes (Japanese Americans internment camps, not addressing Jim Crow South, trying to pack the Supreme Court). Luckily for us, FDR also did great things while having the fullest plate as president (banking crisis, economic depression, WW2). History channel makes FDR a myth. I always knew FDR was a great president who made mistakes (as with all of them). And FDR was much better than most presidents; particularly the ones we have had in the last 30 years.
A lot of people on here fawning over FDR here. Let us not forget the Japanese-American internment camps that he signed off on via an executive order. I’ll agree he was a strong iron hand when America needed it most but was far from great.
Of course he wasn't perfect and that was a terrible policy. It was an unprecedented time in our history where a country had surprise attacked us. People were paranoid. That doesn't make any of this right but it does explain the mindset.
We still live in a world that was largely shaped by FDR -- including domestic programs (and problems, like the increasingly imperial presidency), as well as current international relationships and nuclear policy. And the secrecy of his Manhattan Project continues to impact democracy.
My father grew up in Dutchess County not too far from FDR's residence. The whole neighborhood couldn't stand him. Not once did FDR ever win his home county in his runs for president.
I’m a staunch conservative and won’t ever vote for another democrat or liberal again… Unless it’s someone like FDR. That man saved western civilization and the American people from total destruction and tyranny. God Bless, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
The same guy who threw Japanese Americans in internment camps? The same guy who stole Americans gold? The same guy who extended the Great Depression? The same guy who violated the constitution via the NFA? That guy? Lol
FDR knew much more about the bomb than you give him credit for. after all, he was the president who secretly authorized the bomb and presided over most of the years of its production, and did have plans for how it would be used.
@@alpha-omega2362 the Roosevelts lived in Hyde Park for generations. Their neighbors and townsfolk knew and despised them. Doesn’t your family know you better then strangers? FDR was gifted is smooze. He could lie to your face and you would come away thinking, what a great guy”. I live not far from Hyde Park.
Reagan attended Bilderburg and allowed the First National Bank of Chicago to continue loaning money to the Soviets with an open line of credit. Hahahaha
The Official story, is that he died from a Massive Cerebral Hemorrhage. That's the official story. I, too, wonder if that was the truth...... We'll be able to find out, when he stands before Almighty God, in the day of his Judgement. Too many people forget to read their Bible, which states:"Those things that were done in secret, shall be shouted from the housetops"! In other words:God will expose everything that Mankind has done, and everyone will know what was done! Everybody from Adam and Eve, and onwards, will know about every crime ever committed by everybody who ever existed! That's gonna be some of the most interesting gossip that Mankind will ever hear, when God exposes it all!!!
@@ronaldshank7589In what world is Biden a dictator? Objectively thinking, that is such an erroneous claim. Trump on the other hand, again with objectivity in mind, wanted more than the hypothetical two full terms, he wanted 12 years or more. I wouldn't refer to any other President in modern history as a wannabe dictator (aside from maybe Nixon?) but Trump fits the criteria as per his own words and actions.
We had Washington when we needed him, we had Lincoln when we needed him, we had FDR when we needed him, *JFK, ehhhh let’s not talk about him*, we now have nincompoop Joe Biden…. What a disaster. Trump is contemporarily who we need right now
No president is perfect. They all have flaws. Some more then others but still there'll never will be an president that is perfect other then in your opinion who would that president be. But again perfection is only an matter of opinion.

It's so strange how FDR died 2 weeks before Hitler did. Franklin Delano Roosevelt died April 12th 1945 and Hitler died April 30th 1945
Benito Mussolini in Italy also was killed in April 1945, April 1945 was a historically tremendous month.
A sad irony
Hitler’s birthday is April 20th. Worst birthday ever!!!
Soviets killed him with long term poison
And he did this all disabled in a wheelchair it’s just absolutely amazing!
Gdr people with disabilities are underrated
He also prolonged the depression with socialist policies
He's the Professor X of the non mutant community, with hair.
Being in a wheelchair doesn't mean he's an idiot bro, it's his legs that don't work not his brain. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

In other words:God will expose everything that Mankind has done, and everyone will know what was done! Everybody from Adam and Eve, and onwards, will know about every crime ever committed by everybody who ever existed!
That's gonna be some of the most interesting gossip that Mankind will ever hear, when God exposes it all!!!
A highly underrated president imo. Wish we had that today, but we're stuck with two pathetic candidates (Trump and Biden).
underrated? hes consistently listed near the top of every list as the best president
He did many unconstitutional things.
Started big government.
He was making the mother of all omelettes. He didn’t fret over every egg.
Cry about it. I imagine your grandparents liked social security
@@cax1175 liberalism is a disease
Stalin is tarded
No... Stalin was a murderer! If someone tried to get in his way, they'd most likely find themselves "Offed"!
Considering that he was Woodrow Wilson's left-hand man, he could have did as a favor and kicked off much earlier.
FDR IS ONE OF THE WORST PRESIDENTS EVER LOL… JUST LOOK AT HIS POLICES😂😂😂
Shut up indigenous Man lmao
Today we only have TRUMP TO FEAR!
FDR was the closest to a dictator the US ever came
...up until our current "President"!
@@ronaldshank7589In what world is Biden a dictator? Objectively thinking, that is such an erroneous claim.
Trump on the other hand, again with objectivity in mind, wanted more than the hypothetical two full terms, he wanted 12 years or more.
I wouldn't refer to any other President in modern history as a wannabe dictator (aside from maybe Nixon?) but Trump fits the criteria as per his own words and actions.
one world government
To think you voted Biden, the world is amazed and saddened
And we’ll do it again, seethe more conservative.
We had Washington when we needed him, we had Lincoln when we needed him, we had FDR when we needed him, *JFK, ehhhh let’s not talk about him*, we now have nincompoop Joe Biden…. What a disaster. Trump is contemporarily who we need right now
hands the invisible handshake..
Trump? Lmao hahaha 🤣🤣 Thanks for the laugh 😂😂
@@tyrannywatch974 let me guess, you voted for biden lol 😆. I love it when people publicize their stupidity
Federal felon number 45? Give me a break
Biden is president because 45 was so unfit for office. No other reason.
And we have President Trump when we need him... Trump2024
TRUMP 2024 = DRAFT 2025
'Nuff said.
F D R...SSASSINATED...??...
F* F.D.R.
Common FDR L
He couldn’t handle it
They’re no president like this no more now there’s trump and biden
I mean dude threw Japanese Americans in to internment camps so.
No president is perfect. They all have flaws. Some more then others but still there'll never will be an president that is perfect other then in your opinion who would that president be. But again perfection is only an matter of opinion.
Let me affirm my firm belief is that the only thing we have to fear is Trump himself.
Wtf
Amen
