The term "New Deal" refers to a series of domestic programs and reforms implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during his first term in office, from 1933-1936. The goal was to address the economic challenges posed by the Great Depression, through measures such as job creation, financial regulation, agricultural support, and social welfare programs. These initiatives aimed at providing relief for those affected by the economic crisis while also implementing long term reforms to prevent future crises from occurring. The New Deal was a significant turning point in American history, marking an era of increased government intervention and regulation in the economy.
