He also launched the construction of the Panama Canal and expanded the naval forces. Interestingly, he also negotiated the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese War and earned a Nobel Peace Prize.
Teddy Roosevelt’s Hobby
If you didn’t know, President Theodore Roosevelt was all about physical contact sport. In one event he was sparring with an office from the Navy at the White House when he received a powerful blow to his left eye. In order to protect his ego, he didn’t reveal until weeks later that he had completely lost vision in that eye.
