Before he was President, Eisenhower was a general in which war?

Dwight D. Eisenhower served as a general during World War II, which is the correct answer. He was appointed the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe and was responsible for planning and executing major military operations, including the D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944. His leadership during the war significantly shaped the outcome of the conflict and solidified his reputation as a skilled military strategist. This experience in World War II was pivotal in his later election as President of the United States, as it contributed to his public image as a strong leader capable of facing significant challenges. In contrast, while Eisenhower did have notable involvement in later conflicts, such as the Korean War during his presidency, those wars occurred after his military career was established during World War II. The other conflicts listed, Korean and Vietnam Wars, took place largely after World War II, and he had minimal direct involvement in World War I, as he was not a prominent figure during that time.
