After McKinley's assassination in 1901, Roosevelt became the youngest U.S. president at 42.As president, Roosevelt championed progressive reforms, including trust-busting, labor rights, and conservation, with his "Square Deal" emphasizing fairness for all Americans. He was instrumental in establishing national parks and wildlife preserves, solidifying his legacy as a conservationist. His foreign policy, guided by the motto "Speak softly and carry a big stick," expanded American influence globally.

A prolific writer, he published works on history, politics, and nature.
