Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the United States. He was born in Hyde Park, New York on the 30 January 1882.
During his first 100 days in office, he proceeded to create a series of programs, public works projects, financial reforms and regulations. This became known as the New Deal.
History[]
While never directly mentioned in We Happy Few, the game's Narrative Director, Alex Epstein, stated on Reddit:
"Franklin Roosevelt was assassinated in 1933 (IRL, there was an attempt). There was strong sentiment to keep the US out of WW2; people felt that the British had suckered the US into WW1. Roosevelt had to move Heaven and Earth to get the US into the fight."
Because of his assassination, the isolationist Huey Long would become President, and the US would subsequently refuse to aid Great Britain with the war against Germany, resulting in Britain surrendering.
