GEORGE WASHINGTON 1732-1799

Born in the year 1732 Wakefield, Virginia, son of the farmer, George Washington inherited the plantation sebidang knowledgeable on the age of twenty-seven years. From 1753-1758 the Washington office of the entrance, take active part in the battle of the French Indian opponents, and earn a lot of experience and praise. He returned to Virginia the end of the year 1758, and take a pension. Not long after he marries the widow Martha Dandridge Custis is a rich two. (He never have a child).

Washington in the next five years to manage the plantation with the management of neat. In the year 1774, when he selected a representative attend the Virginia First continental congress, he was the richest colony in the United States. Washington is not the first person to proclaim independence, but in June 1775 in the second continental congress (which he also be representative Virginia), so he elected commander of the entire continental. Militernya experience, and reputation kekayaannya, discount body (high hefty 1.9 m), administratomya talent, and - above all - the establishment and a firm character, menopangnya so that they can occupy the position. Throughout the battle without the reward money and provide examples of the dedication without intention.

The success of Washington's most prominent dirampungkannya around 1775 when he led the continental army, and in March 1797 when the tenure kepresidenannya to a 2-ended. He was the last breath against the house in Mount Vernon, Virginia, in December 1799.

The position of the key that determines the country in order to establish the United States departs from the three types of role that dimainkannya.

First, he was a successful military leader in the independence war the United States. It is true that, Washington is not a military genius, is not more prominent rather than Alexander the Great, Caesar Yulius. However, keep in mind, while many American commander suffered heavy defeat, Washington (although some also have small defeat) is still able to carry forward the battle and flag-pennant victory.

Second, Washington became the head of the constitutional convention. Although the idea not to play the role of Washington in determining America drafting the constitution, but dorongannya, reputation, once when determining pengesahannya. When there are new challenges to the constitution, and only if it's without the influence of Washington's constitution is difficult to accept.

Third, Washington is the first president of the Republic of the United States. United States indeed have a reasonable feel lucky to have the president's first big weight and strong character. Try to see it and compare it with so many examples of countries in Latin America and Africa, although the base was established through a democratic constitution, but very quickly degenerate so the military dictator. Meanwhile, the Washington teguhnya keep republic of rupture accompanied ambition without continual power. He will not be king or dictator. He is the principle the need to embed a shift of power from one hand to another hand through peaceful means. The Code is still held in the United States until now.

George Washington is not a pure and sharp thinker as well as promoter-American leaders in their time as another Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin. However, he is superior of them all. Soalnya, Washington - both at war and at peace - always give a donation in the form of fiber strength in the leadership of government, without which he will not have political steps that work. Stocks role in the establishment of the Republic of Madison United States is important, but in this regard, what the Washington was almost the same importance and menentukannya.

George Washington Inclusion in the list of the order book is largely dependent on the historical assessment of the establishment of the Republic of the United States. Determination that is not aligned on the importance the United States, of course, made difficult by an American now living. Although the United States dipertengahan 20th century held the position of military superiority, and have political influence even greater than that which was owned by the Roman Empire at the time of peak kejayaannya, but political power is not held as long as the Roman. Instead, it is clear that some technological progress achieved by the United States have considered the meaning of culture by others and at the other. The invention of the aircraft - for example - and the human landing on the moon is merealisir dream past era and it seems unimaginable that the invention of nuclear weapons can be proven.

George Washington because of an American political figure who in general can be connected with Augustus Caesar of the Roman, it seems reasonable to place Washington's position in the list is almost close to Augustus. If Washington put more down, this is solely because of his leadership over a short period rather than the government Augustus, and as many leaders (such as Thomas Jefferson and James Madision) also play an important role in the establishment of the Republic of the United States. However, the order of George Washington is higher than figures such as Alexander the Great and Napoleon as Washington works and successes so it produces have a higher coverage and more sustainable.
