Franklin Delano Roosevelt the greatest of the 20th century?

[cptenn94]

your thread is legit, and you have a great point. I do howver want to point out a flaw in your facts. Hitler did not get in power through oppression and force. He was much like chancelor palpatine. Loved and admired by many, and he slowly gained more and more power, until people realized it was to late, and he wasnt what they had thought he was. Then by then he had an iron grip on the country. Also he deceived many people, useing his control of the media.
(he was much like napolen bonaparte, in france)
so the oppresion and power, came later.

Other than that i agree with you.

(edit)

Actually, i liked teddy alot. Also Churchhill, is not being given enough credit. He was able to instill hope and strong moral, on a island, that was being bombed again and again by the germans, at a time when a ton of europe was controlled by germany......

Franklin was good as well, but i think churchhill was a bit better. Stalin was really just meh. He didnt have any special qualities that made him a strong leader, that i remember. Hitler was a strong leader, and was good at raiseing moral, and leading people, but he was evil, and lied, which caused people to turn against him.

So of the big 4, franklin was the leader among them, but churchhill in general was a better leader.

Not really. He funded Germany's recovery with the wealth he obtained from the Jews. Stealing from others to improve your economy isn't exactly revolutionary.

Hitler rebuilt germany before he even began enslaving jews

Died in his sleep for not even death could kill him while he is awake. His political career never died, at the young age of 59 he volunteered to lead an infantry unit into the front lines of WWI.

He trust busted the largest monopolies ever known, forced people to label their food and tell what is in what you are eating, formed the national park system (So he could go hunting), built the Panama canal, Passed the Sherman Antitrust Act to maintain economic liberty, stopped a war between Japan and Russia.

His doctors said he wouldn't live past 20, he died at 60.

That may be so, but if one takes into account demagoguery...well, let's just say Hitler did one hell of a job.

He half-ass planned that party at the last second. If he had built it up more he would have won.
