Bill Clinton won the 1992 presidential election as the Democratic nominee, running on a platform of middle-class tax cuts and national healthcare reform. He relied heavily on his wife Hillary Rodham Clinton during the campaign. Clinton positioned himself as a defender of the middle class against incumbent President George H. W. Bush and independent candidate Ross Perot. However, after taking office in 1993, Clinton found it difficult to enact his agenda due to resistance from a Republican-controlled Congress following the 1994 midterm elections.

1980s to early 1990s2014
Ronald Reagan's presidency from 1980-1988 pursued conservative policies like tax cuts, deregulation, and increased military spending. This approach, known as Reaganomics, initially boosted the economy but increased budget deficits. Reagan also took a hard line against communism and spearheaded efforts that contributed to the end of the Cold War. George H.W. Bush continued many of Reagan's policies as president from 1988-1992, overseeing the dissolution of the Soviet Union and leading a multinational coalition in the 1991 Gulf War to expel Iraqi forces from Kuwait.

This setback empowered Republicans led by Newt Gingrich, who captured Congress in 1994 on their Contract with America. Clinton was reelected in 1996 due to a strong economy but faced impeachment in 1998 over his relationship with Monica Lewinsky, though he was ultimately acquitted.

Clinton 1996 election
In the 1996 election, Bill Clinton was re-elected as president, defeating Republican Bob Dole and Reform candidate Ross Perot. During Clinton's first term he appointed his wife Hillary to head a task force to create a universal healthcare plan, but it was never brought to a vote due to opposition. Clinton worked with a Republican congress to cut spending and lower taxes, resulting in the first balanced budget in 24 years. He also signed welfare reform legislation and oversaw the implementation of NAFTA on January 1, 1994, which both had positive and negative economic effects.
Reagan and bush
Reaganomics focused on cutting federal spending, reducing taxes, and increasing defense spending. Federal budget cuts targeted programs like food stamps, welfare, Medicaid, and student loans. Tax cuts relied on supply-side economics to stimulate the economy by cutting taxes and increasing business investment and job creation. Defense spending increased substantially through initiatives like the Strategic Defense Initiative. Deregulation of industries like airlines and trucking aimed to lower business and consumer costs. Foreign policy saw the collapse of the Soviet Union and end of the Cold War, as well as US interventions in Central America and the Caribbean.
The big 80s part 1
The conservative movement built in the 1980s as people joined the "New Right" to oppose abortion, the removal of prayer in schools, affirmative action, busing, and welfare programs, while supporting traditional family values and individual responsibility. Ronald Reagan appealed to businesspeople wanting deregulation, southerners wanting smaller government, westerners wanting less federal land control, and Democrats believing their party had become too liberal. Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter in 1980 by promising smaller government, lower taxes, and traditional values as people were frustrated by the hostage crisis, high inflation, and poor economy under Carter.
Ford and carter
Gerald Ford became president after Nixon's resignation and struggled with stagflation as inflation and unemployment rose. His attempts to cut spending and raise interest rates caused a recession. Ford also failed to get support from Congress and lost Vietnam. In the 1976 election, Jimmy Carter was elected as an outsider who promised to restore integrity, but struggled with a weak economy as inflation increased due to rising oil prices set by OPEC. Carter achieved the Camp David Accords but his presidency was hurt by the Iran hostage crisis and a failed rescue mission.
Problems for the nixon administration
The Nixon administration faced several major problems including stagflation, which resisted traditional economic solutions and led to shortages. Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned due to tax evasion and bribery charges, requiring Nixon to appoint Gerald Ford as the new vice president. The Watergate scandal emerged involving a break-in at the Democratic headquarters and Nixon's attempted cover-up, leading to his resignation in 1974 as impeachment loomed. Upon taking office, President Ford granted Nixon a controversial pardon that was unpopular but aimed to unify the nation.
Early 70s nixon for virtual
The document summarizes key events in the Vietnam War in the 1970s and Nixon's presidency. It describes how public support for the war waned as the human costs mounted. Nixon became president in 1968 promising to end the war with "peace with honor" but prolonged it for several more years through bombing of Cambodia and Laos. His policies of Vietnamization gradually removed US troops but Congress revoked support for the war. Protests against the war grew more intense, exemplified by the shooting of student protestors at Kent State. The Pentagon Papers revealed the US never had a plan to end the war. Nixon appealed to the "silent majority" but the legacy of Vietnam included reforms like the War Powers Act limiting presidential war powers.
The vietnam war draws to a close
The document summarizes key events in the Cold War and Vietnam War era from the 1950s to the 1970s. It discusses the Eisenhower Doctrine's goal of containing communism, Soviet advancements like Sputnik that worried Americans, Cold War crises like U2 spy plane incidents and the Cuban Missile Crisis, US escalation in Vietnam to stop communism, protests against the war at home, and the 1973 Paris Peace Accords that ended US involvement as Vietnam reunified under communism.
Us involvement in vietnam
The US became involved in Vietnam for several reasons: to contain communism according to the Cold War policy, the Domino Theory that communism would spread in Asia if one country fell, and the French withdrawal from their colony of Vietnam. The Gulf of Tonkin resolution allowed the president to send troops without congressional approval. The US supported the anti-communist leader Diem in South Vietnam but later helped remove him. Despite initial advisors, the US increasingly committed troops under Kennedy and Johnson but failed to win, contributing to Johnson not seeking re-election. Nixon took office promising to end the war through "Vietnamization" while using tactics like Agent Orange and napalm bombings. Growing protests at home resulted from the Tet Offensive showing
The Cuban Missile Crisis
The Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1962, just 90 miles from the United States, alarming President Kennedy and many Americans. Kennedy demanded the missiles' removal and established a blockade around Cuba. A compromise was eventually reached where the Soviets agreed to remove the Cuban missiles in exchange for the US removing missiles from Turkey. The Cuban Missile Crisis brought the US and Soviet Union dangerously close to nuclear war.
Equal rights amendment
The document summarizes the history and goals of the Equal Rights Amendment proposed in the United States. The Equal Rights Amendment aimed to guarantee equal rights under law regardless of sex. It was first proposed in 1923 but gained momentum in the 1960s-1970s led by the National Organization for Women. It passed Congress in 1972 but failed to gain ratification by 38 states by the 1982 deadline due to opposition groups claiming it would eliminate traditional gender roles and legalize gay marriage. While not ratified, numerous court cases have since helped promote greater gender equality.
The Civil Rights Movements
This document outlines the history of the civil rights movement in the United States from the 1950s through the 1960s. It discusses key events and figures, including Brown v. Board of Education, the Montgomery Bus Boycott led by MLK, the formation of civil rights organizations like SNCC and CORE, nonviolent protests such as sit-ins and freedom rides, the march on Washington and MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech, and the assassinations of MLK and Malcom X. It also summarizes landmark civil rights legislation passed during this period, including the Civil Rights Acts of 1957, 1964, and 1968 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Road to wwii
Germany began aggressively expanding its military in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler sought to gain "living space" or Lebensraum by taking land from countries he viewed as inferior. Germany aided Franco's nationalists in the Spanish Civil War to test its new military tactics. Germany later formed the Axis alliance with Italy and Japan to oppose communism. Despite condemning Germany's rearmament, the League of Nations took no action to stop it. Germany continued expanding by remilitarizing the Rhineland, annexing Austria, and taking the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia with the appeasement policy of Britain and France proving ineffective at halting German aggression.
Great depression and solutions
The Great Depression was caused by farmers and factory workers losing money due to increased competition from European farms and a tariff on imported goods that led other countries to retaliate. There was also too much buying on credit in the 1920s and people borrowing money to invest in stocks, which then crashed. President Hoover tried to lend money to banks and businesses to stimulate the economy but did not help the unemployed. President Roosevelt created the New Deal, passing laws to regulate Wall Street and banking and creating programs to insure bank deposits, provide social security, and employ people in public works projects.
Totalitarianism takes over europe
Totalitarianism took over Europe in the 1930s and 1940s. Totalitarian governments controlled all aspects of society including where people worked, what was produced, how people dressed, their beliefs, actions, likes and dislikes. People who violated the government's rules faced punishment such as jail or death. European countries turned to totalitarianism due to economic problems during the Great Depression and a lack of democratic tradition, as countries like Italy, Germany and the USSR had been ruled by kings for most of their history. Totalitarian dictators like Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler rose to power by promising to restore national pride and economic stability while blaming issues on enemies of the state.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
