The appearance of soft bears, so popular these days, is shrouded in mystery. There are many legends about the history of the Teddy bear and its origin. The most famous of them is American.

As the American history of Teddy bears states, a teddy bear received its name from none other than from US President Theodore Roosevelt.

The situation was as follows: the American president in Smidds County, Mississippi had to pay for state affairs once. Local forests were rich in beasts, so Roosevelt could not resist the desire to hunt. Spoiled all obsequious assistants. They found somewhere a small, helpless little bear and tied him to a tree, offering him to the president as a hunting trophy. Of course, Roosevelt was angry and let go of the unfortunate animal.

Journalists, hunters to this kind of stories, simply could not bypass what happened. A few days later in one of the newspapers a caricature was published featuring a bear cub and a soft-hearted president.

This newspaper inadvertently caught the eyes of the spouses Michtom, owners of a toy store in New York. Then Morris and Rose Michtom jokingly created a children's toy - a teddy bear and put it on a showcase with a caricature. The bear was named Teddy (short for Theodore) and instantly gained popularity among the customers of the store. Later, the bear became the talisman of the American president and helped him win a second time in the presidential election.

In a few years, the whole of Old and New World was overwhelmed by a wave of teddymania. In 1914, teddy bears are beginning to be produced in England, destined to become another homeland for the teddy bear. In 1926, Alan Milne publishes his book “Winnie the Pooh,” and in 30-s in Europe, clockwork bears even appear.

After World War II, the excitement was somewhat asleep. A lot of Japanese-made bears appeared on the market, and they almost forgot about real teddy bears. The image of a defenseless bear cub was resurrected by the famous English actor Peter Bull in 60. In the turbulent times of the war in Vietnam and the Caribbean crisis, he promoted this soft toy as a symbol of peace and the good old days.

In 2002, Teddy Bears turned 100 years old. Despite his old age, the bear has not lost its charm at all and is now experiencing a second youth, but in a new image.
