abstract
| - The 1944 United States Presidential Election was the fortieth election held to determine the leader of the United States of America, held in the middle of the Third Global War. The contest pitted incumbent Nationalist President Joseph P. Kennedy and Vice-President Walter Elias Disney versus Socialist candidate General George C. Marshall and the Vice-President candidate Harry S. Truman. In a stunning upset, Marshall defeated Kennedy in both the Electoral College and the Popular Vote, unseating the President during the middle of the war that was already turning in the US's and her allies favor. Many factors had been cited, such as Kennedy's Appeasement policies that lead the Confederate States of America's resurgence and later an attack on the US in 1941, as well as the difficulty the US had in mobilizing for war with the occupation of Ohio. This, with the effective campaign run by Marshall, summed up with the slogan "Victory and Security," lead the tepid Kennedy to loose the election.
