Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, was born in New York in 1858. He had bronchial asthma; therefore, he received all the primary education at home. In 1876, Theodore Roosevelt began studying at Harvard; he was interested in politics from an early age. A tragedy occurred in Theodore Roosevelt’s personal life: in 1884, he lost his wife and mother. The tragedy forced him to leave the city and take up agriculture. However, due to the drought that year, the harvest was poor. Things did not go well; as a result, the future President returned to New York in 1895, where he became a policeman. Soon Theodore Roosevelt married a second time; he had five children in this marriage.
In 1897, Theodore Roosevelt began working in the presidential administration. He plays an active role in the Spanish-American War, for which he subsequently receives the highest award. Leading an active political activity, in 1900, Roosevelt became vice president. Since there was an attempt on the life of the President, and William McKinley died, Theodore Roosevelt took the post of head of the country. At that time, he was only 42 years old; he became the youngest President of the United States.
At the end of his term, Roosevelt refused to run for the presidency for the second and third time. But after a while, due to dissatisfaction with the rule of the new president, he takes part in the election race. In 1912, when Roosevelt was supposed to give a speech to the people, he was shot, the wound was not fatal, but the presidential race was lost. Roosevelt died in 1919, and mourning was declared throughout the country.
