GEORGE BUSH   Forty-first president 1989-1993   Republican from New England, in wealthy family   Preferred foreign policy to domestic affairs   Sent troops to Mid-East after Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990 in Desert Storm War   Despite apparent success on battlefield, Desert Storm was only a partial victory   Bush’s term in office saw collapse of Soviet Union and breaking away of former client states   Berlin Wall fell in 1990 and Germany was re-united   Eastern European Soviet countries began to gain full independence   While focusing his attention on foreign policy, Bush neglected the home front.   Unemployment was rising, and stock market was falling   Bush lost his bid for re-election   Vice president Dan Quayle
