In the presidential election of 1932, Roosevelt, the Democratic Party's candidate, ran against Herbert Hoover, the Republican Party's candidate and the current president. Hoover's failure to assist the American people in coping with the Great Depression led many voters to turn against the incumbent. During the campaign, Roosevelt declared that he had a plan to assist the American people. Roosevelt's proposal became known as the New Deal. Under it, Roosevelt intended to utilize federal government resources in an unprecedented manner to aid the American people. Roosevelt hoped that his New Deal would allow Americans to cope with the Great Depression, would help end the current economic downturn, and would help prevent another depression from occurring in the future. As a result of the New Deal, Roosevelt handily won the election.
Although his New Deal did not heal the depression, it did help many Americans. By 1935 he established his second New Deal which further helped by providing further Governmental assistance to the American people. Enough that when it came to the election in 1936 he won by an overwhelming margin winning all but 7 electoral votes. The event that finally ended the Great Depression in the United States was, however, World War II. This conflict provided millions of Americans of both genders new jobs and opportunities as the nation mobilized for war.
