Roosevelt’s brazen approach to foreign policy began during his term as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President William McKinley. He advocated war against Spain and mobilized the Navy while his boss was away. When the U.S. declared war on Spain, Roosevelt assembled the Rough Riders and led the First Volunteer Cavalry to victory on Cuba's San Juan Hill in 1898.

One of Roosevelt’s most notable foreign accomplishments after rising to the presidency in 1901 was the establishment of the Panama Canal. When negotiations for the canal with Columbia failed, Roosevelt supported a revolution. Independent of Columbian control, Panama agreed to a canal zone, giving the United States control of the canal for $10 million and an annual payment of $250,000, according to the University of Virginia’s Miller Center. Construction began in 1904 and was completed in 1914.

As a peacemaker, Roosevelt mediated the end of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, earning the Nobel Peace Prize. He also mediated international disputes involving Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and Morocco, according to the Theodore Roosevelt Association.
