From Sickly Kid to America's Most Badass President - Teddy Roosevelt in 60 SecondsAdded:
Theodore Roosevelt's life story explained in 1 minute. Did you know the most energetic president in American history was once so sickly he could barely breathe? Theodore Roosevelt was born in 1858 as a weak asthmatic child who doctors said might not survive. But Roosevelt refused to accept weakness.
Through pure determination, he transformed himself into a rugged outdoorsman with intense physical training. Tragedy struck when both his wife and mother died on the same day.
Heartbroken, Roosevelt fled to the Dakota territory, becoming a cowboy and rancher in the wilderness. During the Spanish-American War, he led the famous charge up San Juan Hill, becoming a national hero. When President McKinley was assassinated, Roosevelt became the youngest president ever at 42. He revolutionized America by breaking up massive corporate monopolies, created our national park system, and won the Nobel Peace Prize for ending the Russo-Japanese War. Even after leaving office, Roosevelt wasn't done. He formed the Bull Moose Party and ran again, splitting the Republican Party forever.
Roosevelt's energy redefined presidential power and made America a global force.
