George Washington was the first President of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797. He is often referred to as the "Father of His Country" for his leadership during the American Revolutionary War and his role in establishing the new nation.
Born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County, Virginia, Washington was a prominent military leader before becoming President. He led the Continental Army to victory against the British during the Revolutionary War, and later presided over the Constitutional Convention in 1787.
As President, Washington set many precedents for the new government, including establishing the Cabinet system and serving only two terms in office. He is also known for his Farewell Address, in which he warned against political factions and foreign entanglements.
After leaving office, Washington retired to his plantation at Mount Vernon, where he died on December 14, 1799. He is remembered as one of the most important figures in American history, revered for his leadership, integrity, and dedication to the principles of democracy.
