Herbert Hoover

Herbert Hoover was the 31st President of the United States, serving from 1929 to 1933. Though he was a highly successful mining engineer and a celebrated humanitarian who saved millions from starvation, his presidency was tragically defined by the onset of the Great Depression, leading to his defeat for re-election. Despite his later efforts to reorganize government, his legacy remains complex, marked by both immense achievement and profound economic crisis.
