The 1930s were dominated by economic collapse, stagnation, and mass
unemployment. This crisis enabled the Democrats to recapture the
White House and embark upon a period of reform unsurpassed until
the 1960s. Roosevelt's New Deal laid the foundations of a welfare
system that was further consolidated during and after the Second
World War. American involvement in World War II helped to secure
victory in Europe and in Asia. American participation in the war
led to economic recovery but also brought with it enormous
demographic and social changes. Some of these changes continued
after the war had ended, but further political reform was to be
limited due to the impact of the Cold War and the effects of
America's new role as the world's leading superpower in the atomic
age. The Historical Dictionary of the Roosevelt-Truman Era examines
significant individuals, organizations, and events in American
political, economic, social, and cultural history between 1933 and
1953. This was a period of enormous significance in the United
States due to the impact of the Great Depression, World War II, and
the onset of the Cold War. The presidencies of Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman witnessed the origins of the modern
American welfare system and the rise of the United States as a
world power, as well as its involvement in the confrontation with
communism that dominated the latter half of the 20th century.
