Explanation:

Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th President of the U. S. Although he was recognized for his foreign policy, he was also a peacemaker. Roosevelt influenced U. S. foreign policy even before being president as Assistant Secretary under President William McKinley.

One example of his peaceful way to solve problems between countries/nations is the Russo-Japanese War. The peaceful negotiations of Roosevelt approached both nations.

The President wanted for a world in which countries turn into discussions or treaties instead of war to settle international/national disputes.
