The primary aim of the New Deal, implemented during the Great Depression, was to provide relief, recovery, and reform to a struggling nation. Spearheaded by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the New Deal introduced a series of programs and policies aimed at mitigating the economic crisis. This included providing direct aid to the unemployed, creating jobs through public works projects, and regulating the banking system to prevent future economic collapses. The New Deal sought to restore public confidence and lay the groundwork for long-term economic stability in the United States.
