George W. Bush, often referred to as "G.W. Bush," served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009. His presidency was largely defined by the September 11th terrorist attacks, which led to the "War on Terror" and military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Before entering the political arena, Bush earned a bachelor's degree from Yale University and an MBA from Harvard Business School. He then served as a fighter pilot in the Texas Air National Guard. He later found success in the oil industry and became the Governor of Texas.
As president, Bush signed education reform legislation known as "No Child Left Behind," aimed at improving educational standards. He also enacted tax cuts and oversaw the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. His administration faced criticism for its handling of Hurricane Katrina and the financial crisis of 2008. Bush's legacy remains a subject of ongoing debate, particularly regarding foreign policy and the long-term impact of his decisions.
