NathanSamantha Smith
Smith was only 10 and somehow dialed down the Cold War tensions between the United States and Russia using a single letter. Writing to the CPSU General Secretary Yuri Andropov, she suggested that both countries could co-exist peacefully and this was printed on a Soviet newspaper. She then took on the role as “America’s Youngest Ambassador” and she also contributed in the peacemaking with Japan. She, unfortunately, passed away at just 13 years of age in a plane crash.
