What is the New World Order and how was it evident during the four years George H. W. Bush served as president?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
- The New World Order: resulted from the end of the Cold War and the emergence of a historic period of cooperation that included military strategies based on the coalition of many countries against rogue states or groups
- The Soviet Union and Eastern Europe: reforms made by Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev in the late 1980s that encouraged open political discussions and a restructuring toward a profit-based economy led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union and to the end of Communist rule throughout Eastern Europe; the Berlin Wall came down in 1991 and paved the way for German reunification the following year
- The Persian Gulf and Middle East: Bush launched Operation Desert Storm to free Kuwait from Iraqi control in 1991; the Persian Gulf War demonstrated that a broad coalition of many countries could succeed in defeating Iraq in Kuwait, although Bush did not pursue Saddam Hussein into Iraq and remove him from power
