Overview

Discover the remarkable life of William McKinley... William McKinley's presidency was fairly brief as far as presidencies go, but it was incredibly consequential all the same. The most notable and lasting part of his legacy is no doubt the US acquisition of Guam and Puerto Rico, which remain US territories to this very day. But William McKinley's presidency meant more than these land grabs. In many ways, his presidency brought about a whole new world order as it saw the fall of an old-world imperial power and America's own rise to dominance on the world stage. Under his leadership, the United States embraced a new foreign and domestic policy. His administration championed protective tariffs that bolstered American industry, and his decisive actions during the Spanish-American War redefined how the nation would protect its interests abroad, influencing the conduct of nearly every subsequent president. Sadly, his time as president-and indeed his time on this Earth-would be cut short by an assassin's bullet. His untimely death sent shockwaves through the nation, leaving many to wonder what further strides he might have made in shaping America's future. Here in this book, we cover William McKinley's life and legacy in full. Discover a plethora of topics such as In the Heat of Battle Love, Marriage, and Politics Tariffs, Tariffs, and More Tariffs!
