George H.W. Bush’s Leadership in Desert Storm

George H.W. Bush (1924–2018) was the 41st President of the United States (1989–1993) and a World War II naval aviator. His presidency is most remembered for his decisive leadership during the Gulf War, which began after Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990. Through diplomatic and military efforts, Bush assembled a global coalition, and by January 1991, Operation Desert Storm commenced. The war ended swiftly, with Kuwait liberated in just 42 days, cementing Bush’s reputation as a strong wartime leader.
