Currently, a consensus exists among historians of Franklin Roosevelt's presidency that divides his tenure in office into two distinct periods. The first encompasses the years from 1933 through 1938. It is argued that during this period, FDR turned his back upon foreign involvements and focused his attention upon ameliorating the hardships caused by the Depression. The second period of Roosevelt's presidency neatly begins where the first one ends and encompasses the years from 1938 until Roosevelt's death in April of 1945. According to this interpretation, following the Anschluss between Germany and Austria in March of 1938 and the appeasement of Hitler at Munich in the Fall of 1938, FDR, it is argued, returned to his roots as an internationalist and became almost exclusively preoccupied with how the United States should respond to the looming threat of war in Europe and the ongoing conflict in Asia. This interpretation, however, is flawed.Documents located at Roosevelt's library in Hyde Park suggest that the President did not abandon his support for the principles of internationalism. Instead, the documentary evidence indicates that following the collapse of the London Economic Conference in 1933, FDR embraced non-traditional means in order to promote what he referred to as his agenda for economic reconstruction. His economic reform measures included a proposal for establishing an interconnected global free trade economy coupled with a commitment to establishing higher minimum standards of living for people throughout the world.Throughout the 1930's, Roosevelt promoted this reform agenda as a challenge to Germany's aggressive practice of economic nationalism, and he used this agenda to build an international anti-Nazi coalition. By December of 1941, the governments of the Allied Nations had accepted FDR's plan as the basis for economic reconstruction following the defeat of the Axis Powers, and acknowledged that improving the standard of living for the "common man" in the post-war era was the reason why the conflict against Germany was a good war.
