Which program was introduced by President Roosevelt to help recover the economy during the Great Depression?

The New Deal was a series of programs and policies introduced by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in response to the economic challenges posed by the Great Depression. Initiated in the 1930s, the New Deal aimed to provide immediate relief for the unemployed, economic recovery, and reform the financial system to prevent a future depression. It included significant initiatives such as Social Security, the Civilian Conservation Corps, and public works programs which aimed to stimulate job creation and infrastructure improvement.

The other options represent different historical contexts and initiatives; the Great Society was a set of domestic programs launched by President Lyndon B. Johnson in the 1960s; the Square Deal was Theodore Roosevelt’s domestic program focusing on consumer protection and labor rights in the early 20th century; and the Fair Deal was Harry Truman’s series of proposals in the late 1940s aimed at expanding social welfare programs. None of these were specifically created in response to the economic crisis of the Great Depression like the New Deal was.
