It is hard to believe, but the United States never even dreamed of playing a significant role in world politics. They were unable to compete with such political "heavyweights" as Great Britain, France, Russia, and later Germany. Everything began to change during the reign of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States in 1901-1909. "Is America too weak to shirk the work of the great world powers? No," he said. Roosevelt developed the "big stick" doctrine, the meaning of which he explained with the phrase: "Don't raise your voice, but carry a big stick, and you will go far." In domestic politics, this doctrine was used to limit the activities of monopolies; in foreign policy, it meant the right of the United States to interfere in the affairs of neighboring states if a threatening situation developed there. In addition, Theodore Roosevelt was the first American president to use the expression "world policeman", believing that the United States could take on such a responsibility to maintain order in the world. During the war between Russia and Japan, he acted as a mediator between these countries, which resulted in the Treaty of Portsmouth, and Roosevelt received the Nobel Prize. This book is the first in Russian to contain Theodore Roosevelt's memoirs, in which he talks about his activities.
