Dwight D. Eisenhower
Dwight Eisenhower was the 34th President of the United States. Eisenhower was known for being an excellent soldier. When WWII began, skilled soldiers were needed and Eisenhower fit the job perfectly. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Eisenhower was put in charge of the D-Day invasion. Eisenhower led a successful invasion and was promoted to the highest rank in the United States army in 1944, General of the Army.
During his Presidency, Eisenhower strengthened the Social Security program and created the Interstate Highway System. Soon after Eisenhower became President, he created an agreement that ended the 3 year long war with Korea. Eisenhower was a supporter of nuclear strength and the CIA.
Eisenhower tried to mend friendships with the USSR after Joseph Stalin died in 1953. Eisenhower thought he could possibly be successful until the USSR sunk one of our reconnaissance planes.
In September of 1955, Eisenhower had a heart attack and was in the hospital for seven weeks. He made a full recovery and returned to office when he was reelected in November of 1956.
