Roosevelt had many visions of postwar Europe, he utilized his charm, wit, and the help of his advisors to push his ideas. Roosevelt used his imagination and character on how he could create a free and self-governing Europe. He worked closely with Winston Churchill, and not so closely with Joseph Stalin to try to lead the allies to victory over Germany and Japan. There were many different decisions that needed to made during World War II, Roosevelt and his cabinet had to make calculated decisions on each and every one of them. During wartime, America was pumping out more tanks and planes than any other country in the world. This was due to executive order 8802, which gave government jobs to African-Americans. Also, the U.S. broke many of Germany's and Japan' codes, and few of America's codes were due to code talkers who were Navaho Indians.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was as a charming man. Many people knew this, but also many people saw through it. As Charles de Gaulle said, "Roosevelt showed himself eager to reach a meeting of minds, using charm rather than reason to convince me,"". Though he was charming and was nice as can be, in the winter of 1942 he felt depressed and disturbed. He tried to make everyone happy, which was very difficult to do. In 1941 he tried to keep India in the war to fight against Japan, he did this trying not to upset Britain, he failed and upset both countries. In the future, he would keep himself in a neutral stance on issues. He kept his opinion to himself when the question for a diversion attacks towards the Norwegian area or North Africa. Roosevelt also was viewed as nave, he thought at one time he could trust Russia as he trusted Britain. One of Roosevelt's biggest quotes of the war turned many heads. When he stated "unconditional surrender-, everyone was surprised, especially Churchill. Attention from the war focused on the United States after those two words.
