Teddy Roosevelt chose Portsmouth to be the site of 1905 peace treaty negotiations to end the Russo Japanese War (now known as ″World War Zero″). This program explores Roosevelt's multi-track diplomacy that included other world powers—the Russian and Japanese delegations and the US Navy, in addition to our host state of New Hampshire —during thirty days of negotiations that resulted in the Portsmouth Peace Treaty. Roosevelt earned America's first Nobel Peace Prize in 1906 for his endeavors. Two panels of a traveling exhibit accompany this talk with Roosevelt Scholar Charles Doleac. Free. Reservations not required. Meet at Newbury Town Office, 937 Route 103, Newbury, NH. Sponsored by the NH Humanities Council.
