Identify a significant event from 1989-2020, describe the president’s response (one sentence), and tell why that response is historically significant.

Events in the U.S. history are often referenced in relation to the presidential administration under which they occurred. Sometimes these events are caused by presidents and at other times these are events that are thrust upon them—events which they are forced to address. In this assignment you will identify a significant event from 1989-2020, describe the president’s response (one sentence), and tell why that response is historically significant. Please see my example below. Please note (I am only asking for 2 events from the 1 term presidents and 4 events from the 2 term presidents).
Use your textbook as your first stop for finding this information. However, you will need to fill the gaps with additional online research. Most of this information will be basic common knowledge that you could find in multiple texts. You should NOT use direct quotations and need to even avoid paraphrasing. Therefore, I am going to allow you to NOT site your work. Moreover, I am interested in why YOU believe this information to be historically important (not why another historian sees it as important).
George H.W. Bush (Please complete 2 more)
Jan. 1989- Jan. 1990 EXAMPLE What happened? Tiananmen Square Massacre
What was the president’s response and why is it historically important? President Bush announced a suspension of weapons sales to the Chinese government, the temporary cessation of diplomatic visits, and a decision to honor Chinese student requests to remain in the U.S. once their visas expired. This event was important because it showed the erosion of communism that was occurring and while the pro-democracy initiatives did not ultimately lead to a change in government in China, it did in other areas of the world.

All work will be scrutinized for plagiarism.
If students plagiarize any portion of their submitted work, they will not receive credit for the assignment. Students should not copy and paste from websites. That being said, students are encouraged to read, review, and analyze a variety of sources as you work on your assignments. Students must remember to cite their sources. If a student uses someone else’s ideas they must remember to cite the referenced source at the bottom of the assignment entry. Assignments should largely be in the student’s own words. But, when it is absolutely necessary to directly quote another source, students must always remember to use quotations and, again, to cite their work.
