1924年～
Bush, George (Herbert Walker)
41st president of the U.S. (1989-93). Born in Milton, Massachusetts, the son of Prescott Bush, later U.S. senator from Connecticut, he served in World War II, graduated from Yale University, and started an oil business in Texas. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives 1966-70 as a Republican. He then served as ambassador to the UN (1971-72), chief of liaison to China (1974-76), and head of the CIA (1976-77). In 1980 he ran for president but lost the nomination to Ronald Reagan. He served as vice president with Reagan (1981-88), whom he succeeded as president, defeating Michael Dukakis. He made no dramatic departures from Reagan's policies. In 1989 he ordered a brief military invasion of Panama, which toppled that country's leader, General Manuel Noriega. He helped impose a UN-approved embargo against Iraq in 1990 to force its withdrawal from Kuwait. When Iraq refused, he authorized a U.S.-led air offensive that began the Persian Gulf War. Despite general approval of his foreign policy, an economic recession led to his defeat by William Jefferson Clinton in 1992. His son George W. Bush was elected governor of Texas in 1994 and president of the U.S. in 2000. Another son, Jeb Bush, was elected governor of Florida in 1998.
