Former President Jimmy Carter died at the age of 100 at his home in Plains, Georgia, the Carter Center announced. Carter served as the 37th United States president from 1977 to 1981 and lived longer than any other US president. His term was noteworthy for an economic stress marked by escalating inflation and unemployment, and heightened tensions in the Middle East. He was also notable for his humanitarian stance and establishment of the Departments of Energy and Education.

Born on October 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia, Carter graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1946. He served in the US Navy until 1961, achieving the rank of lieutenant. Upon his retirement from the navy, he administered his family’s peanut farm in the mid-1950s. Carter’s political journey began with his election to the Georgia State Senate in 1963 and later, he became the state’s governor in 1970.

He entered the presidency facing a struggling economy, experiencing high inflation and unemployment – dubbed ‘stagflation’. In response, he appointed Paul Volcker as chair of the Federal Reserve to curb inflation. Despite his positive diplomatic strides, the Iranian Hostage Crisis and inflation rates affected his public approval, culminating in his loss to Ronald Reagan in 1980.

Carter remained vigorously involved in philanthropy, particularly through Habitat for Humanity. As a prolific author, he penned 34 books, including his memoir- A Full Life: Reflections at 90 . He also founded the Carter Center, aimed at resolving issues related to democracy and human rights. This involvement led to him being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Despite health complications in his later years, Carter continued to contribute to humanity. He was survived by his four children, 11 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren.
