What achievements did George H.W. Bush as being president?

The most notable accomplishments of George H.W. Bush's
term in office all had to do with foreign policy.  Bush's accomplishments were, as you
know, not sufficient to get him a second term in
office.


The most important thing that happened during
Bush's time in office was the fall of the Berlin Wall.  However, this is usually not
credited to Bush.  It is usually seen as an accomplishment of Ronald Reagan or Mikhail
Gorbachev.


The thing that is most closely connected with
Bush is the first Gulf War, also known as Operation Desert Storm.  In this incident,
Pres. Bush managed to put together (and keep together) a coalition of nations to fight
against Iraq when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait.  This war was a great military success
in that Iraq was pushed out of Kuwait quite quickly.  This is the accomplishment that is
most clearly connected to the first Pres. Bush.
