Abstract
Theodore Roosevelt played a key role in the rise of the United States to Great Power status. Prior to entering the White House, TR was a leading proponent of a more ambitious foreign policy and, as the 26th president, he promoted US predominance in the Western Hemisphere, engaged in Great Power diplomacy, and oversaw expansion of the navy. He also laid the foundations for modern presidential statecraft with forceful advocacy of specific policy goals, a close relationship with the press, and an intense engagement with public opinion. After leaving Washington, he was among the most ardent critics of president Woodrow Wilson’s policies and helped to build support for the Allies and for preparing to enter World War I.
