George H.W. Bush was the 41st president of the United States from 1989 to 1992. As president, he oversaw the fall of the Berlin Wall and collapse of the Soviet Union. He led a successful foreign policy but faced economic challenges at home, including a recession. Despite pledging "no new taxes", he raised taxes which contributed to his loss in the 1992 election to Bill Clinton.
