Medaleine Albright, the former Secretary of State of the United States, dies away at the age of 84. Her family has confirmed that she has passed away. She was 84 years old at the time.
Albright died, according to several reports, as a result of cancer.
President Bill Clinton appointed Albright as Secretary of State during the bloody Yugoslavia war, during which President Slobodan Milesovic was tried at the International Criminal Court. Albright was one of the most influential figures in the corridors of power during the mid-1990s and early 2000. She served during the Bill Clinton administration.
Her parents and siblings were born in the Czech Republic and immigrated to the United States in 1948. From there, she was welcomed into the political and public life of the United States.
When President Clinton nominated her for the Secretary of State position in 1996, she became the first woman in the history of the United States to hold the powerful position.
She resigned from her position in 2001, following the conclusion of the Clinton administration.
