George Washington (1732-1799) was the first President of the United States and a central figure in the founding of the nation. As a leader of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, he played a pivotal role in securing independence from British rule. His leadership qualities and vision for a united nation earned him widespread respect, leading to his unanimous election as the first president in 1789.
