Context
Eisenhower's military leadership was critical to Allied victory in Europe. As president, he oversaw the end of the Korean War in 1953 and signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, which created the Interstate Highway System—the largest public works project in American history. His presidency marked a period of prosperity and Cold War tension, and he warned against the "military-industrial complex" in his farewell address.
