The United States gets a new leader!
Roosevelt, the beloved president of 4 terms, decided not to run for a 5th term. As he should have. The Republican candidate, Nickolai Carpathia won the Presidency. Soon after, Congress pass the 2 term amendment.
Carpathia emmediatly went after the people's morale. He began a costly campagn to bring more jobs and money to the working class. That in turn, stimulated the economy.
The jobs were to build military supplies.
With a better equipped army, Carpathia hopes to better isolate the USA. He has shut down all foreign travel and no one is to enter the borders unless they are citizens. The Japanese citizens were let out of the interment camps, and shipped directly to new housing and jobs in Chicago, the heart of the military job campaign.
