Jimmy Carter: A century full of ups and downs ends

Plains, Georgia, USA - Former US President Jimmy Carter, a striking face of American politics, died at the age of 100. Carter died in his hometown of Plain, Georgia with a curriculum vitae that includes both heights and depths. This small town was not only the place of its birth on October 1, 1924, but also his last place of residence, as the "Atlanta Journal-Constitution" reported. Carter started his position as 39th President of the United States and ruled until 1981. During his presidency, he experienced many challenges, which earned him a call as a hapless president.

a life full of contradictions

carter was often seen as an ideal of the world who was lacking in political assertiveness. But with the course of time, he was honored posthumously as the "best ex-president" of the United States, which underlines the complexity of his inheritance. His commitment to peace and human rights, which earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, has had a lasting impact on the public perception of his person. He was the first former president to reach the proud age of 100, which is unique in the history of the United States. Membrant occasions and memories came to life again when he celebrated his milestone birthday, just a few months before he went from us.

carter leaves a mixed heir. During the time of his presidency, challenges such as the oil crisis and the hostage -taking in Tehran were concise, which threatened its popularity. Nevertheless, he is seen by many as one of the most influential figures in American post -war history, which continued in political discourse even after his resignation in 1981. “Kleine Zeitung” reminds that it had a lasting impact on the political landscape of the United States with its idealism and his tireless pursuit of peace.
