    President Franklin Roosevelt is the correct answer.

    The Great Depression was a period of economic crisis that happened during the 1930s. The crisis started in the United States and rapidly became a worldwide economic depression. Unemployment, deflation, poverty, hunger and low profit were some of the problems faced by Americans during that time. Therefore, Franklin Roosevelt came up with a plan, known as 'The New Deal', to get millions of Americans back to work and also provide them with different types of assistance. In 1935, he also created the WPA (Works Progress Administration) which employed over 8 million Americans. However, these programs were still not sufficient to end the Great Depression. It was not until the World War II that they were able to fully recover.
