Legacy: Bush was the first President since Martin Van Buren to move directly from the vice presidency to the presidency through his own election. With a strong group of foreign policy advisers, Bush helped navigate the end of the Cold War and a new era in U.S.-Soviet relations. He also led an international coalition of countries which successfully forced Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait in the Persian Gulf War, and he led a military operation in Panama. Domestically, he reneged on a 1988 campaign promise not to raise taxes, which contributed to his 1992 defeat.
