Discover the life and legacy of William McKinley, the 25th president of the United States, whose presidency marked a significant period of economic growth and political realignment. From his leadership during the Spanish-American War to his efforts to restore prosperity after a deep depression, McKinley's tenure in office was marked by decisive action and controversial policies.

As the last president to have served in the Civil War, McKinley's military background shaped his approach to governance. He navigated complex economic issues, such as the gold standard and protective tariffs, with a focus on promoting American industry and prosperity. His presidency also saw the United States expand its overseas territories, annexing Hawaii and gaining control of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines.

Despite his achievements, McKinley's presidency was tragically cut short by assassination in 1901. His legacy, however, lived on through the political realignment he helped shape, making Republicans dominant in the industrial states for decades to come.
