Editing Hoover Institution (section)

== History ==
The Hoover Institution was founded in 1919 by Herbert Hoover, who was an influential public servant and later became President of the United States. The institution was established to collect and preserve materials documenting the causes, conduct, and consequences of war, revolution, and peace. It was originally intended to house documents and archives related to World War I, but over time, its focus expanded to include a broader array of global conflicts, political movements, and social upheavals.

In the years since its founding, the Hoover Institution has grown into one of the world’s leading research centers on international relations, economics, political theory, and public policy. It is closely affiliated with Stanford University and houses a large collection of historical documents, books, and archives, making it an important center for scholars and policymakers interested in studying political, social, and economic history.
