Walter Edge (Napoleon's World)

Walter Evans Edge (November 20, 1873 - October 29, 1956) was an American statesman and politician from New Jersey who served as the President of the United States from 1929-1937, previously having served as Senator and Governor for that same state. Edge, a progressive Nationalist, presided over one of the largest economic expansions in American history as well as the conclusion of the Pacific War. A proponent of the Efficiency Movement and a protégé of other Progressive Era Nationalists such as Charles Evans Hughes, Edge's example would remain the model for the National Party for the next 40 years. His wins in 1928 and 1932 were two of the largest landslides in American history.
