The 26th President of The United States, Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt: With the assassination of President McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, with just 43, he became the youngest president in the history of the nation. He brought new excitement and power to the presidency, while vigorously led Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy. It held the view that the President, as "people manager" must take any action necessary for the public interest unless it expressly prohibited by law or by the Constitution. "It usurped power," he wrote, "but greatly widening the use of executive power." Roosevelt's youth differed curtly Presidents of the cabin. He born in New York in 1858 within the bosom of a wealthy family, but he also fought --contra disease - and in his triumph became a lawyer vigorous life. In 1884 his first wife, Alice Lee Roosevelt, and his mother died on the same day. Roosevelt spent much of the next two years on his ranch in the Badlands of Dakota Territory. There he mastered his pain while he lived in the hills, driving cattle, hunting greatly --even captured a foragído. On a visit to London, he married Edith Carow in December 1886.

During the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt was Lieutenant Colonel of the Regiment Rough Ryder, who went on a rellerta in the battle of San Juan. He was one of the most visible war heroes. Boss Tom Platt, needing a hero to draw attention away from scandals in New York State, accepted Roosevelt as the Republican candidate for Governor in 1898. Roosevelt won and served with distinction. As President, Roosevelt held the ideal that government should be the great arbiter of the conflicting economic forces of the nation, especially between capital and labor, guaranteeing justice to each and dispensing favors to none without. Roosevelt emerged spectacularly as a "trust game" forcing the dissolution of the great railroad combination in the Northwest. Other anti affairs under the Sherman Act followed. Roosevelt led the United States more actively in world politics. The phrasing like a favorite proverb, "speak softly and carge a big stick." Aware of the strategic need for a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific, Roosevelt ensured the construction of the Panama Canal. Its corollary to the Monroe Doctrine prevented the establishment of foreign bases in the Caribbean and the earthly derrogó right of intervention in Latin America of the United States.

He won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War, he reached a Gentleman Agreement on immigration with Japan, sent the Great White Fleet on a trip by buenavoluntad world. Some of the most effective achievements were in Theodore Roosevelt conservation. The he added enormously to the national forests in the western lands reserved for public use, and fostered great irrigation projects. He was in a encrusijada endless big and small issues, excited audiences with his high-pitched voice and thundering fist hitting. "The life of strenuous effort" was a necessity for those around him, as he romped with his five young children and led ambassadors raised through Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C. Leaving the presidency in 1909, Roosevelt went on an African safari, then went back into politics. In 1912 he ran for President on a Progressive ticket. The once remarked to reporters that he felt he could so much as a bull moose, the name of his new party. While he is campaigning in Milwaukee, a fan shooting in the chest. Roosevelt soon recovered, but his words at that time could have been applied at the time of his death in 1919: "No man has had a happier life than I have had, throughout a happier life."
