What made Dwight David Eisenhower a man with a "national and world reputation" by the time he became president? What were his views on the continuation of the New Deal, the role that the United States should play in world affaris, and the handling of Nikita Khrushchev?
PLEASE GENIUS, HELP ME!

He was commander of allied forces in Europe during WWII. His domestic policies were moderate and he restrained growth of social program to balance the budget. In foreign policy he was pro peace, ending the Korean war, and tried to defuse the situation with Russia after Stalin's death. He ordered troops to Little Rock to keep order during troubles with school integration, but (we found out later) he did not like the court decisions. He kept silent on many controversial topics, because he felt it would demean the office to give his opinions on things that were not official business.
