Franklin D. Roosevelt won the 1940 US presidential election and this victory had a significant impact on the course of World War II. Roosevelt had been president since 1933 and his leadership during the war was seen as a key factor in the eventual victory of the Allies. As the US was still officially neutral at the time of the 1940 election, Roosevelt's re-election was seen as a signal of the country's commitment to becoming more involved in the conflict. After the election, Roosevelt increased aid to Britain through the Lend-Lease program, which helped sustain the British war effort. In 1941, he also signed the Atlantic Charter with Churchill, laying out the Allied war aims and setting the stage for US entry into the war.
