The “Total War” FDR wanted was put aside and an issuance of neutrality was issued in 1939. ... While FDR’s “Alphabet Policies” did curb the economic situation to a degree, it would be the involvement in WWII that would pull the country from the grips of the Great Depression and into its place as the wealthiest civilization the world has ever known. ...
