The article from MSN outlines the significant milestones in the life and career of Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States. Born on October 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia, Carter graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1946 and served in the Navy before returning to Georgia to manage the family peanut farm following his father's death. His political career began in 1962 when he was elected to the Georgia State Senate, and he later became Governor of Georgia in 1971. His presidential campaign in 1976 capitalized on his outsider status, leading to his election as President. During his presidency, Carter is remembered for the Camp David Accords, which facilitated peace between Egypt and Israel, and for his efforts in energy policy and deregulation. However, his term was also marked by economic challenges, the Iran hostage crisis, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. After his presidency, Carter has been notably active in humanitarian work, earning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his efforts in promoting peace, democracy, and human rights. He has also been involved with Habitat for Humanity and continues to be a prominent figure in global health and peace initiatives.
