While the war launched and leveled nations spurred economic growth and saw the rise and fall of global Fascism New York City would eventually emerge as the new capital of the world. From the Gilded Age to VJ-Day an array of fascinating New Yorkers rose to fame from Mayor Fiorello La Guardia to Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Langston Hughes to Joe Louis to Robert Moses and Joe DiMaggio.
