FDR and Foreign Relations

Paper Summary:

This paper focuses on United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his foreign relations policy, especially during his first term of office. It shows how he handled the "Great Depression" and how his country entered into World War II from a foreign relations perspective.

From the Paper:

"Roosevelt felt that if the talks went silent for too long that they would never resume. He publicly renewed the request of the British Prime Minister to visit him in America. In using a method that he learned from his Presidential Campaign, Roosevelt eluded to the idea that he had a plan to save the world's economy, when in truth he had no all-encompassing plan of ending the stalemate in Geneva, no new idea for dealing with war debt payments, not even news of the payments due June 15. This plan was akin to the way the "New Deal" was used in his campaign, a plan of action not necessarily a plan of details."
