He was effectively running the US Department of the Navy when the Spanish American War The Spanish–American War was a military conflict between Spain and the United States that took place between April and August 1898, over the issues of the liberation of Cuba. The war began after American demands for the resolution of the Cuban fight for independence were rejected by Spain.

Roosevelt declined to run for re-election in 1908. After leaving office, he embarked on a safari A safari is an overland journey, usually a trip by tourists to Africa, traditionally for a big-game hunt; today the term often refers to a trip taken not for the purposes of hunting, but to observe and photograph animals and other wildlife.

At about 30.2 million km² including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of the Earth's total surface area and 20.4% of the total land area. With a billion people (as of 2009, see table) in 61 territories, it accounts for about 14.72% of the World's human population and a trip to Europe Europe is, by convention, one of the world's seven continents. Comprising the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, Europe is generally divided from Asia to its east by the water divide of the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus Mountains (or the Kuma-Manych Depression), and the Black Sea to the southeast.

In the election The United States presidential election of 1912 was fought among three major candidates, two of whom spent time as presidents at one point or another. Incumbent President William Howard Taft was renominated by the Republican Party with the support of the conservative wing of the party. After former President Theodore Roosevelt failed to receive, Roosevelt became the only third party The term third party is used in the United States for a political party other than one of the two major parties, at present, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. It is used as shorthand for all such parties , or sometimes only the largest of them. The term is often used dismissively candidate to come in second place, beating Taft but losing to Woodrow Wilson Thomas Woodrow Wilson was the 28th President of the United States. A leading intellectual of the Progressive Era, he served as President of Princeton University from 1902 to 1910, and then as the Governor of New Jersey from 1911 to 1913. With Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft dividing the Republican Party vote, Wilson was elected. After the election, Roosevelt embarked on a major expedition to South America South America is the southern continent of America, situated entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the Northern Hemisphere. It is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean; North America and the Caribbean Sea lie to the northwest; the river on which he traveled now bears his name. He contracted malaria Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by a eukaryotic protist of the genus Plasmodium. It is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of the Americas, Asia, and Africa. Each year, there are approximately 350–500 million cases of malaria, killing between one and three million people, the majority of whom are on the trip, which damaged his health, and he died a few years later, at the age of 60.

A. Well he was the sculptors friend, but Roosevelt was one of the genuine great presidents in his own right. He built our first world class navy, was an anti-corruption crusader, founded the national park system. In short he was a Republican that would have opposed nearly every present day Republican belief. I also doubt very much TR would have gotten side tracked into Iraq or any where else after 9/11.
