Theodore Roosevelt's Nobel Peace Prize

Your research has shown Theordore Roosevelt in a new light. I love how you bring facts out and connect them, revealing the pattern. This is a very insightful report, Lance. Thank you. Teddy Roosevelt did a lot of good for America. Btw: I highly recommend a book: 'The Statesman and The Storyteller' where the parallel lives of John Jay and Mark Twain are revealed in a very delightful, insightful way. Teddy Roosevelt has a prominent role in that book. Very informative and fun. Again , thank you. I loved this mini-documentary as I call them. They are much more than just a video or podcast.

Theodore Roosevelt's Nobel Peace Prize was one of the very few instances where the prize was given to someone who had actually helped make peace, as opposed the far more common case of the award being given for "pro-peace" posturing which sounded good but did nothing to actually bring peace to anyone.

They have to give it to someone each year though, right? Most years, as far as I've gathered, it's more of a participation award type of thing, rather than a winner's medal. "At least you turned up and made out like you knew what you were doing," kinda thing. 😂

Could you do a video on the history of the two dollar bill, please?

[@narveenaryaputri9759]

@roberthamilton1152 the the Kennedy 2$ bill with the red stamp. The green one we can still get ..the red has been removed from circulation. Red stands for labor. Green for agriculture. Kenedy had printed his own ..so of course the Fed ain't allowing that .. If u ever see a red one.. its hugely valuable

[@OhioDan]

... Wouldn't the history of the $2 bill go back much further than the Kennedy administration?

[@narveenaryaputri9759]

@OhioDan oh I meant the Red Stamp one.. its only Keneddy adm. The Green stamp one is ubiquitous The Kennedy one has been scrubbed from info ..though u can see on coin collector sites Stamps are significant in American currency notes: red=labor. Green=agriculture. Yellow=sun. I forgot what blue means. I learnt this on my Common Law Grand Jury days . I studied the creation of currency outside the Fed Reserve. Its VERY useful info. Do a deep dive. Ithaca, NY has its own currency known as The Ithica Dollar. ..its like a coupon so it's legal. Fairfield Iowa has the Rama note equal to $10 US dollars..abt 10 -15 yrs ago and used only in the local area. I really don't know current situation there. New Yorkers took over control of Maharishi School of Managemant , Fairfield. I have not kept up.

[@narveenaryaputri9759]

@OhioDan I meant the Kennedy $2.00 is the only one with the red stamp. The others are with a green stamp. The red stamp has been pulled out of circulation since it was printed outside the Fed.. and it represented labor. ( red=labor) . Two president's printed their own money: Abe Lincoln had the Greenback. There is a lot on info about printing money legally. Currently there are two areas which have their own money: Ithaca, NY has The Ithaca dollar . And the Rama note of Maharishi Vedic University worth about 20 US dollars when last I was looking into it. They are valid only in the local area..and work like coupons. So it's legal. You get lots of info from Coin Shops .. you kniw the antique looking coin shops that buy and sell gold and silver.

I teach English in Korea. The Korean Peninsula suffered from Roosevelt’s negotiation. After this award, Japanese rule of Korea became severe. Roosevelt’s award stands as the first example of the Nobel committee turning a blind eye to dictatorship. The Korean people received no peace from it.

[@markkovach1992]

Thank you for this. I had NO idea of the background info.

[@notapplicable531]

I personally feel that his Peace Prize is rather tarnished given that the Taft-Katsura agreement, a part ot the treaty, essentially gave Japan carte-blanche to annex Korea, a sovereign nation, in 1910 into the Japanese Empire. What the Americans got for this was Japanese assurances that Japan had no interests in the Philippines. What the Koreans got was 35 years of exploitation, rape, torture and murder. You won't find any Korean who would state anything positive about Roosevelt winning the prize.

[@goodun2974]

For those wishing to learn more, the complete saga of Roosevelt's trip is detailed in the history book "The Imperial Cruise".

[@curiouscharacter1]

Correct me if I'm wrong. I seem to recall in reading that book that President Roosevelt made it known that he was impressed that a small nation like Japan, still relatively new to the ways of the technology of the "civilized" world was able to wage war effectively against a larger, more established foreign power. Basically, he endorsed their methods of battling an enemy in his comments concerning his admiration for the Japanese military. The author speculated that this approval was interpreted by the Japanese to mean that a "first strike" (or "sneak attack" if you will) was an acceptable way to wage modern war. The author went on to say that this " verbal reinforcement" by Roosevelt may have led the Japanese to make the decision to attack Pearl Harbor in 1941. I found this to be an interesting theory and the book was well worth reading.

The irony is that the settlement between Japan and Russia left both sides feeling cheated. Japan felt they were being discriminated against for imperialism normal for Europeans or the US. The Russians felt cheated for being coerced by their creditors. That sets aside the interests of the Chinese and Koreans, who were the ones being fought over. Perhaps letting the Russians and Japanese fight to exhaustion would have had a better long term result.

Jimmy Carter certainly deserved the Nobel Prize, although he didn't receive it until long after his presidency; he was nominated at least 5 times, beginning with his role in negotiating a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. I am a bit more dubious of Obama's Nobel Prize, and even Obama stated at the time "perhaps the most profound issue surrounding my receipt of this prize is the fact that I am the commander in chief of the military of a nation that is in the midst of two wars. If I come here with an acute sense of the costs of armed conflict ---- filled with difficult questions about the relationship between war and peace and our efforts to replace one with the other". The Nobel committee had cited Obama for his promotion of nuclear nonproliferation and multilateral diplomacy, Which perhaps didn't merit a prize all on their own but certainly looked a lot better than George W. Bush's policies and actions, at least on paper.

Regarding your last point. You might enjoy "The Valor of Ignorance" published by Captain Homer Lea after the signing of the Portsmouth Treaty. Not only does he predict war between the US and Japan, he specifies that the first attack will be on Pearl Harbor and the second on the Philippines from the North. Despite this book having been taught at our military academies, the brass were caught flat-footed in Pearl Harbor and the dubious genius MacArthur was caught at the southern end of the Philippines. All this was foreseen in dry detail by a military analyst - not a fortune teller with a crystal ball or some loony conspiracy theorist.

They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly.
