George Herbert Walker BUSH
1989 - January 20 - George H. W. Bush (1924 - ) becomes 41st President of the United States



George H. W. Bush served as the 41st President of the United States from 1989 to 1993. His presidency was marked by significant foreign policy achievements, including the end of the Cold War, the successful Gulf War against Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, and the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Domestically, Bush struggled with economic issues, including a recession and breaking his "no new taxes" pledge, which hurt his popularity. Despite his foreign policy successes, these domestic challenges contributed to his loss to Bill Clinton in the 1992 presidential election.
