The fact is that he could not go to school, because he suffered from myopia and frequent asthmatic attacks. However, the boy devoted a lot of time to running and boxing in order to overcome he alth problems. The knowledge gained from private teachers helped him enter one of the schools at Harvard without any problems. After graduating from it, Theodore Roosevelt joined the Republican Party and became a well-known political figure. On February 14, 1884, a tragedy struck his family. Then his wife and mother passed away at the same time. Because of this, he quit his job and retired to one of the ranches outside the city.
In 1886, the future American president returned to politics and even ran for mayor. However, he lost the election. From 1897, Theodore Roosevelt served as Deputy Secretary of War. A year later, together with the assembled regimentvolunteers went to Europe to participate in the American-Spanish War. Thus, after returning to his homeland, he became a national hero.

As far as his foreign policy is concerned, work continued on the establishment of an imperialist world state. He played a very important role in ending the war between Japan and Russia, because it was on his initiative that a very favorable settlement agreement for the United States was signed between the countries in September 1905. A year later, Theodore Roosevelt received the Nobel Prize for his work. In the future, he more than once had a serious impact on the settlement of various international disputes.
Roosevelt was elected to his second term on November 8, 1904. During his entire tenure as head of state, he often made moderate or tough decisions. Very quickly, the idea came to his mind that the country should develop through the implementation of reforms.

For such an active work, he deservedamong the population the image of the first hero of the new period and the affectionate nickname "Teddy".
