Teddy Roosevelt is responsible for our entry into both World Wars,

Huh? You mean Woodrow Wilson I think. At least for the first one. Franklin Deleanor for the Second one.

He’s also the Godfather of today’s Environmental movement.

Hardly. The modern movement tracks back to a bunch of communists in the 1950s.

Roosevelts’ Deals

[MuttTheHoople]

The last thing William McKinley wanted was to go to war with Spain. However, because of William Randolf Hearst beating the war drums with yellow journalism, and people like Teddy Roosevelt taking advantage of the situation, the US decided they wanted to get into the Empire game like Europe.

Because of Roosevelt, we had interests in the Phillipines and other Pacific Islands. If we had stayed on our own continent, we probably wouldn't have given a flip what Japan did in the runup to WW II.
