Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969) was a five-star general, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces during World War II, and the 34th President of the United States (1953–1961). He led the successful D-Day invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe in 1944, helping to secure victory in the war. As president, Eisenhower focused on Cold War containment, the expansion of the U.S. highway system, and civil rights, signing the Civil Rights Act of 1957. His leadership emphasized military preparedness while warning against the growing influence of the "military-industrial complex" in his farewell address. A steady, pragmatic leader, he balanced diplomacy with a strong national defense, leaving a lasting impact on both American military strategy and domestic policy.
