A prime example of President Roosevelt not always relying on military force was how he signed the Treaty of Portsmouth. The Treaty of Portsmouth essentially ended the Russo-Japanese War. The Japanese is known for winning this war, but after it ended Japan and Russia did not get along, so President Roosevelt took it into his own hands and decided to create the Treaty of Portsmouth, which made numerous negotiations between the two in order for them to get along. It was officially signed on September 5, 1905, and ended up making Theodore Roosevelt win a Nobel Peace Prize for his kindness in helping the two nations get along again.
