Franklin D. Roosevelt

He ruled the US in the difficult years following the Great Depression, which put millions of people out of work, and during World War Two.
His "New Deal" saw lots of building projects to give people work, and he helped come up with the United Nations to try to prevent any more big wars.

Using the definition of "widely known" for famous it is undoubtedly Abraham Lincoln. He is studied in virtually every classroom in the world.

Washington because he was the last president that did not have an agenda and was not controlled by others who had agendas for their own personal gain.
