Record of a Prosperous 1905 Era and Political Upheaval
The year 1905 ushered in broad US and global economic expansion with rising prices and wealth, a surge in rail and construction projects, farmland expansion, and strong foreign trade. Roosevelt's popularity, trust investigations, and reform momentum reshaped politics with Jerome's district attorney victory and municipal ownership pushes. Internationally, Russia’s turmoil and the Portsmouth peace ended the war while Japan rose, and science and education advanced with new university efforts.
