Summary

** "African and European Addresses" by Theodore Roosevelt is a compilation of speeches delivered by the ex-president of the United States on his journey throughout Africa and Europe at the start of the 1900s. Crafted in the early 1910s, the work captures Roosevelt's involvement with topics of leadership, the duties of countries with colonies, and the significance of equal rights as he traveled through Africa and Europe. Throughout his speeches, Roosevelt supports concepts like global unity, responsibilities as a citizen in a fair country, and also the function of moral principles in government. The start of this book lays out the reason for Roosevelt's trip, outlining his goal to speak at famous places, like Oxford and the Sorbonne. Roosevelt's lectures during his travels center on pushing for legal principles, along with emphasizing the duties of government workers and regular people to encourage steadiness and fairness. He talks about what he saw regarding the political climates of Egypt and Sudan, showing his commitment to backing the actions of officials and stressing his faith in the need for stable governance to keep civilization growing. By exploring these ideas, Roosevelt intends to express how much he appreciates all that has been achieved in these areas, and to provide direction on how to handle the tricky relationship between colonialism, area leadership, and global accountabilities. **
