Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, died Sunday at the age of 100.
Carter had been in home hospice care since February 2023. He became the oldest living US president in history after George H.W. Bush died in 2018 at the age of 94.
Carter, a peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia, who served in the US Navy, was president from 1977 to 1981.
Championing human rights at the center of US foreign policy, Carter forged a still-standing peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. He also established the Department of Energy in 1977.
Shortly after, Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, established the Carter Center, which has monitored international elections and promoted public health across the world.
