Teddy Roosevelt's Nobel Peace Prize - Why? How did he get it?
How did he get it?-
Theodore Roosevelt won the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing the Russo-Japanese War to an end. Theodore Roosevelt was the first only American at that time to win the Nobel Peace Prize. He used common sense in debating.
Why?-
He saved many lives by ending the Russo-Japanese War and making peace.
Extras-
Teddy did not keep the money that came with the award; he gave it to congress for the funding of a permanent Industrialized Peace Committee which would deal with the fairness between classes of society. Congress had never put together the committee so during World War 1, Teddy Roosevelt petitioned that congress return the money so he could give the money to many charities and war relief efforts.
