Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th President of the United States, serving from 1901 to 1909. Renowned for his robust personality and progressive policies, he became the youngest president in U.S. history following the assassination of William McKinley. Roosevelt was a driving force behind the Progressive Era, advocating for significant reforms such as antitrust regulations, labor rights, and consumer protection. A passionate conservationist, he established numerous national parks, forests, and monuments, laying the groundwork for the modern environmental movement. His foreign policy was marked by the adage "speak softly and carry a big stick," exemplified by actions such as the Panama Canal's construction and the negotiation of an end to the Russo-Japanese War, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Roosevelt's dynamic leadership and impactful domestic and international policies have left a lasting legacy on the American political landscape.
