President Eisenhower Was The Greatest President

During presidencies, Eisenhower and Truman both struggles on how they would end the cold war around the globe. They had high expectations on how they would prevent the war in crippled Europe using America‘s foreign policy.

It should be noted that North Korea’s communist ally and veto holder, the Soviet Union, was absent from this meeting in protest of the communist China’s exclusion from the Security Council. A United Nations defense force led by the United States, came to the of South Korea and in a rapid counter-offensive, they were able to push the North Koreans back past the 38th parallel close to Yalu River along the border with China. Warnings from Communist China that it would intervene should UN forces push past the 38th parallel were ignored by UN Commanders and true to their word, the Chinese Intervened on behalf of the North pushing UN and ROK forces back to the 38th parallel. In 1953, the war ended with an armistice that restored the border between the Koreas near the 38th Parallel and created the Korean Demilitarized Zone, a 4 Km wide buffer zone between the two Koreas (Edwards 2005).

George Washington was the leader of the Continental Army during the American Revolution, led the Continental Congress in the development of the United States Constitution and served as the first United States President. His enduring contributions were far reaching and greatly impacted the course of American and world history. While Washington is the epitome of a strategic leader, he was not without his weaknesses. As a military commander, Washington made serious mistakes, however, his most significant strength was his ability to survive his mistakes and learn from them. Setbacks early in life, coupled with disappointment at the start of his military career set the foundation for Washington to emerge as America’s most iconic strategic and

Each and every president of the United States of America left behind a legacy for everybody to look back at and learn from ,some of them were more notice able than others .Who do you believe was the best President of American? Well ,I believe that the 40th president ,Ronald Reagan, was the best of all . Now you might ask why I choose Reagan .I choose him because he was kind,understanding and had a personality that nobody could resist.He also had a lot of nicknames that people gave him such as, Ronald the Right , the Jelly Bean Man ,and the Great Communicator .

“Dwight D. Eisenhower was a master craftsman in the demanding art of leadership. For twenty years, first as a soldier and then as a statesman, he bore the daily responsibility for difficult decisions that had far-reaching consequences for the nation.” (WS) He had been promoted lieutenant colonel and was an obscure officer until the US involvement with World War Two. The US had been attacked at Pearl Harbor by the Japanese on December 7, 1941. Soon after the attack, Congress declared war and they entered on the Allied side. Until the war Eisenhower had no real chance of distinguishing himself through war. However, he still worked hard to be prepared for whatever task came to him. This preparation and hard work helped him, as he caught the eye

Many people think that Dwight D. Eisenhower didn't do much during his presidency. That’s not true he actually did many things. Some people say he didn’t take much action during his presidency. That’s not true either, he just tried to do things without taking unnecessary actions. He had more experience than a lot of presidents with Military, which helped him to make those decisions. Eisenhower did many more things than just being in the military.

Dwight D. Eisenhower would not go down in history for his accomplishments during World War II, but will be remembered for his outstanding abilities to direct during the Cold War. It was his military skill against the Soviet Union that gained him the title of "strategic architect of America 's Cold War

George S. Patton was one of the most highly regarded and successful military leaders in the history of the United States. His military career spanned from the expedition into Mexico throughout WWII. His ability to inspire his troops with his profane filled speeches and his position of always leading from the front gained him vast popularity and fame. Many political leaders considered him too controversial and intemperate at times. This reputation often overshadowed his determination and success as a commander. His bravery and many contributions to several of America’s war efforts has established him as one of the greats in American military history.

Alot of good things came out of this ,some may say that we lost this war because of communism staying in North Korea after us leaving.However after America leaving leaving the war and it ending in 1953, communism did not spread to South Korea and that's what ¨containment¨ was, for the U.S. this was a very document that the U.S. stresses this alot and this was to contain communism from spreading to wherever it did not exist already. Not stopping North Korea from taking over South Korea would be leading it spread, so the U.S. was obligated to go and help South

Both President Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon were presidents during the cold war. Their uses of presidential power within foreign policy greatly shaped the United State’s strategies in cold war politics. Comparing their actions as Chief Diplomat, Chief Legislator, Chief Executive and Commander in Chief shows how they have used both their formal and informal powers to lead the nation. President Eisenhower was much more successful in gaining congress approval through working with them yet had much more trouble dealing with peace abroad. Nixon was able to use powers to make successful gains within the cold war abroad, yet had trouble

Dwight D. Eisenhower was a man full of brains, and always used his communication skills to help his country. This came in handy during World War II. “He argued that this war, more than previous conflicts, would require careful planning and logistical precision—skills at which he excelled” (American Decades). Better than most officers, he understood that politics and the military were closely entwined. On February 10, 1943, he became a

With the end of World War Two and the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, the United States emerged on the global stage as one of the planet's great economic and military powers. It is safe to say that with America's change in status, and in conjunction with profound industrial and technological change, that presidential leadership would necessarily have to transform yet again to meet a new era; nowhere could two different styles of leadership to meet the age be seen than in the Cold War administrations of Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy. Both men would exhibit a unique style of leadership suited to the personality of each, and each style could be considered to characterize the administration of each president, but nevertheless, both men would also use very similar leadership styles when necessary in order to attain certain policy goals.

Becoming familiar with these men proved to be an asset in Eisenhower’s military career. Before the entrance of America into World War II, he found himself promoted to the rank of brigadier general.

Throughout our nation's history it has endured 43 presidents,some of them have been remembered as great men who served our country well and made it a better place. Others are more well known for the scandals they caused and others are hardly remembered at all. Despite the amount of presidents that we have had there has never been a president who stands out as the best president ever. Although there are two presidents from the post world war 2 era, each from two separate parties that I believed both had some of the skills to be the best president ever.

Eisenhower showed moral judgment, courage, compassion, honesty, and fairness. His judgments were based on facts. When General George S. Patton, had slapped and terrorized two soldiers, Eisenhower responded to Patton with a stern letter informing him such behavior would not be tolerated and urged the general to apologize to the soldiers. Fairness was a big virtue of Eisenhower as it exemplified a great leader. (Gini & Green, 2013, p. 5)
