The presidencies of Nixon, Ford, Carter
President Richard Nixon took office in 1969 with the goal of ending the Vietnam War. However, the Watergate Scandal erupted in 1972 and involved a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and Nixon's subsequent cover-up. This led to Nixon's resignation in 1974, making him the first U.S. president to resign from office. His successor, Gerald Ford, granted Nixon a full pardon but saw his approval ratings drop as a result. Jimmy Carter was elected in 1976 but struggled with economic issues and crises like the Iran hostage crisis, where 52 Americans were held for over a year, weakening his presidency.

Nixon pursued a foreign policy of détente to reduce Cold War tensions. He established closer relations with China and the Soviet Union, negotiating arms limitations with the latter.

Domestically, Nixon advocated new federalism and a Southern strategy while also pursuing some liberal policies like creating the EPA and advancing affirmative action.

Richard Milhous Nixon - Shaun Hoskisson
Richard Nixon was elected president in 1968 on a promise to end the Vietnam War. His policies of cutting the Ho Chi Minh supply trail through bombing campaigns destabilized Cambodia and Laos, while Vietnamization aimed to gradually withdraw U.S. troops by training South Vietnamese forces but ultimately failed as South Vietnam fell to North Vietnam in 1975. Nixon's presidency was cut short by the Watergate scandal after he was found to be involved in a cover up of White House-orchestrated burglaries at the Democratic National Committee headquarters. He resigned in 1974 to avoid impeachment.
The cold war 1945 1990
The Cold War was a decades-long ideological and geopolitical struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union that began following World War II. Key events that deepened tensions included Stalin reneging on allowing free elections in Eastern Europe, the Berlin Blockade, McCarthyism in the US, and the space race highlighted by the launch of Sputnik. Major crises like the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the two superpowers to the brink of nuclear war. Throughout the Cold War both sides sought to spread their influence and contain the other through military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact as well as policies like containment and détente.
Nixon
The document provides biographical information on Richard Nixon and summarizes his political career and presidency. It describes how Nixon rose to political prominence by investigating communist activities and helping Senator McCarthy. It outlines Nixon's foreign and domestic policies as president, including opening relations with China and establishing the EPA. The document focuses on Nixon's involvement in the Watergate scandal, from the initial break-in and cover-up attempts to his resignation from office in 1974 to avoid impeachment.
Jfk and the cold war
President Kennedy continued the Cold War policy of resisting the spread of communism through both military and non-military means. He offered economic and development aid to other nations through initiatives like the Alliance for Progress and Peace Corps while also threatening military force if needed to defend against threats like those in Cuba and Berlin. Kennedy believed in pursuing peace without relying solely on weapons and sought to ease tensions with the Soviet Union through agreements like the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
The Red Scare
The Red Scare refers to two periods of intense anti-communist sentiment in the United States in the 20th century. During World War I and again in the late 1940s through 1950s, there was widespread fear of communist infiltration of the US government. This led to investigations and persecution of suspected communists, such as Ethel and Julius Rosenberg who were executed for espionage, and Alger Hiss who was accused of being a communist spy. The government implemented loyalty programs and acts restricting immigration to crack down on communist threats during the Cold War era.
Kennedy Book Project
The document provides instructions for creating a book project on John F. Kennedy's presidency, requiring coverage of his domestic and foreign policies in 3 pages. The domestic policy page must discuss Kennedy's election in 1960, his New Frontier programs like the Peace Corps, and the effects on NASA and space exploration. The foreign policy page must cover the Cuban Revolution, the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and relations with Khrushchev and Berlin. Each page requires color, illustrations, and specific topic coverage.
US CH 31 Nixon 2019

It also covers the rise of feminism and the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. The Watergate scandal is described in detail, including the break-in, cover-up attempts, investigations, and Nixon's eventual resignation. Economic issues like stagflation and OPEC are briefly touched on. Environmental concerns and events like Three Mile Island are also mentioned.
Ten best lies of black history
This document summarizes 10 common lies about black history. It debunks the ideas that whites were the first humans, blacks were only cotton pickers, Lincoln freed the slaves, blacks ate each other in Africa, blacks were cursed by God, the US government has helped blacks succeed, Jews built the pyramids, blacks sold other blacks into slavery, there was no slavery in the North, and Columbus discovered America. It provides evidence from sources like genetic studies, newspaper ads, and historians to support its arguments against these 10 lies.
The American Empire.pdf
By 1900, European nations and former European colonies controlled 85% of the Earth's land. Major imperial powers included Britain, France, Germany, the United States, and Russia. New imperialism between 1870-1914 was driven by demands of industrial economies for resources and markets, nationalism and militarism, and beliefs in social Darwinism and the white man's burden. European powers colonized much of Africa and Asia, often exploiting local populations. The United States also joined in imperialism through acquiring Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines following the Spanish-American War of 1898.
Between the World Wars
The document provides an overview of various sections in a chapter about nationalism and revolution around the world from 1910-1939. It discusses struggles for independence and self-rule in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, India, and China in the aftermath of World War I. Key figures discussed include Gandhi and his use of nonviolent resistance in leading India's independence movement from Britain, including the famous Salt March.
Watergate i fixed it!
The Watergate Scandal destroyed Americans' faith in their government following the Vietnam War. It involved President Richard Nixon's administration attempting to cover up a burglary at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate building. Investigative reporting by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein revealed details of the crime and multiple abuses of power by Nixon's administration. This eventually led to Nixon's resignation in 1974, making him the first president to resign from office. The scandal marked a turning point in Americans' views of their leaders and established important checks and balances on presidential power.

Follow the special directions” June 1974 “Clean the table of our ambassador in Cyprus, the cleaning is a decision of the National Security Council/PM-36 Follow the program directly Kissinger”
