6 de Janeiro de 1919

Died in his sleep of a coronary embolism at Oyster Bay, Nassau County, New York, Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize (b. 1858). Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th (1901–09) President of the United States. He had been the 25th Vice President before becoming President upon the assassination of President William McKinley. Inaugurated at the age of 42, Roosevelt became the youngest sitting President. Thanks to his amazingly energetic personality, Roosevelt is considered one of the ablest presidents; surveys of scholars put him at the top of the second tier.

Roosevelt is a remarkable historical character, particularly in leading what he called the "strenuous life". During his tenure in the White House, he boxed voraciously, even practiced judo with a visiting Japanese team, and took friends and colleagues on long hikes.

Roosevelt was decisive in building the Panama Canal. He was the first American to win a Nobel Prize in any category, having been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906 for his mediation of the Russo-Japanese War. Roosevelt was the fifth cousin of the later President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the uncle of Eleanor Roosevelt.
