After Watergate, Gerald Ford assumed the presidency but was unable to curb inflation or the economic difficulties of the time. His pardon of Nixon hurt his popularity and he lost the 1976 election to Jimmy Carter. Carter emphasized human rights but faced challenges like inflation, fuel shortages, and the Iran hostage crisis. This hurt his reelection bid, which was won by Ronald Reagan in 1980. Reagan implemented conservative policies like tax cuts and military spending increases. He faced challenges like budget deficits and scandals but remained popular. The Cold War began to thaw under Gorbachev's reforms in the Soviet Union. George H. W. Bush succeeded Reagan but faced a recession and the Gulf War during his term.

Ch 26 1970s and 1980s
After winning the election narrowly in 1968, President Nixon pursued a moderate domestic agenda including establishing new federal agencies like the EPA and OSHA. However, his proposal for a guaranteed annual income failed to pass Congress. Nixon aimed to consolidate Southern support by nominating conservative justices to the Supreme Court. The Watergate scandal erupted after the 1972 election, involving Nixon administration officials covering up a break-in at the Democratic National Headquarters. This led to Nixon's resignation in 1974 to avoid impeachment. The 1970s also saw rising inflation, energy crises, and economic stagnation known as stagflation.
LOAPUSH 37 I like Ike
During the Eisenhower era of the 1950s, the United States experienced an economic boom driven by suburban home building, growth in electronics and aerospace, and a shift to more white-collar jobs. Women increasingly entered the workforce, though the 1950s ideal still emphasized domesticity. Betty Friedan's 1963 book The Feminine Mystique sparked the modern feminist movement. Consumerism expanded with new technologies like credit cards and entertainment forms including television and rock music. Eisenhower ended the Korean War and pursued a "New Look" foreign policy emphasizing nuclear deterrence over conventional forces. However, events like the Soviet invasions of Hungary and developments in the Middle East challenged this strategy. The civil rights movement gained momentum through the NA

Chapter 23 and 24 1970s
The women's rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s fought to end discrimination against women through organizations like NOW and legal victories like Title IX and Roe v. Wade. However, it became more divided in the late 1970s between moderate and radical factions. Gerald Ford restored confidence as president after Watergate but struggled with a poor economy. Jimmy Carter was elected in 1976 but faced mounting problems at home over inflation and energy shortages as well as crises abroad like the Iran hostage situation. By 1980, conservative values reemerged strongly in response to the social and economic turmoil of the previous decade.

The Conservative Challenge1976 to 1992
“During the years of the Carter, Reagan, and Bush administrations, the nation’s political and social agenda was increasingly determined by a conservative movement, including newly politicized evangelical Christians, that sought to restore traditional religious and family values, patriotism, and a more limited role for government.”

475 news coverage of war 2012 up
This document discusses the complex relationship between the media and the government during times of war. It provides several examples from different conflicts to illustrate how the media's role has changed over time and been influenced by the level of censorship and information control imposed by the government. While the media aims to act as a watchdog, it often relies too heavily on official sources, limiting its ability to independently question government policy. The document also analyzes how both the government and opposition parties seek to characterize media coverage and criticism of war policy as being unpatriotic or aiding the enemy.
APUSH Lecture Ch. 30-31 Nixon to Reagan
The document provides an overview of major events and issues during the Nixon and Ford presidencies from 1969-1977. It discusses Nixon's election and pledge to end the Vietnam War through "Vietnamization," his opening of relations with China, and his domestic policies. However, the Watergate scandal erupted and Nixon resigned in 1974 due to his role in the cover-up. Ford then pardoned Nixon but lost reelection in 1976. The Vietnam War continued despite Nixon's efforts, and the 1973 Oil Crisis had major economic impacts.

Watergate
The Watergate scandal of the 1970s involved the burglary of the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate apartment complex in Washington D.C. by Republican operatives connected to President Richard Nixon's re-election campaign. Multiple investigations revealed that senior White House officials, including Nixon, were involved in attempting to cover-up the burglary and other abuses of power. Facing impeachment and criminal prosecution, Nixon resigned as president on August 9, 1974, becoming the only U.S. president to resign from office. His successor Gerald Ford later pardoned Nixon for any federal crimes he may have committed.
Nixon, Ford, & Carter (1969-1981)
Nixon avoided relying directly on his cabinet and instead relied heavily on a close staff led by H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman. Nixon struggled with high inflation and unemployment during his first term despite implementing wage and price freezes. The 1973 oil embargo caused by OPEC quadrupling oil prices in response to U.S. support for Israel seriously worsened inflation and led to a recession. Nixon also implemented a "Southern Strategy" of appealing to white southern voters by slowing desegregation and cutting funding for fair housing laws. In foreign policy, Nixon and his National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger pursued détente, relaxing tensions with major communist powers China and the Soviet Union through realpolitik negotiations and
Vietnam War
The Vietnam War began in 1954 after France lost control of Vietnam to Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh forces. Vietnam was divided at the 17th parallel, with Ho Chi Minh controlling North Vietnam and Ngo Dinh Diem controlling South Vietnam. The US initially provided aid to Diem's repressive government in South Vietnam and gradually increased military involvement over the following decades. Despite massive US bombing campaigns and increasing troop deployments, the Tet Offensive in 1968 showed that the US was not winning the war. Growing anti-war sentiment led Nixon to begin withdrawing troops in 1973, and South Vietnam fell to Communist rule in 1975. The human and financial costs of the war were immense.

Intro to Political Parties
This document defines political parties and describes their functions. It explains that political parties seek to control government by winning elections. Parties work to nominate candidates, campaign, take policy stances to attract voters, and oversee the conduct of government once in power. The US has a two-party system due to historical precedent, tradition, and electoral rules that make it difficult for third parties to succeed. Multi-party systems elect coalitions and represent diverse views, while one-party systems are common in dictatorships.

The US has a two-party system due to historical precedent, tradition, and electoral rules that make it difficult for third parties to succeed. Multi-party systems elect multiple parties through coalitions, providing broader representation.
President Nixon
Nixon pursued a policy of détente by relaxing tensions with major communist powers. His national security advisor Henry Kissinger played a key role in secret diplomatic outreach to China and the Soviet Union. This led to Nixon's historic 1972 visit to China, establishing diplomatic relations and further cooperation. Nixon also reached agreements with the Soviet Union, including the SALT I treaty that imposed the first limits on nuclear weapons.
Watergate
The Watergate scandal of the 1970s involved the burglary of the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate apartment complex in Washington D.C. by Republican operatives connected to President Richard Nixon's re-election campaign. Multiple investigations revealed that senior White House officials, including Nixon, were involved in attempting to cover-up the burglary and other abuses of power. Facing impeachment and criminal prosecution, Nixon resigned as president on August 9, 1974, becoming the only U.S. president to resign from office. His successor Gerald Ford later pardoned Nixon for any federal crimes he may have committed.
Impact of the Cold War
The Cold War had major impacts on national security and domestic policies in the US. The National Security Act of 1947 created new institutions like the Department of Defense and CIA to centralize defense efforts. NSC-68 called for expanding the military budget to actively counter communism globally. McCarthyism spread fear of communist influence domestically. Military spending increased dramatically as a percentage of GDP due to the arms race with the Soviet Union. Eisenhower later warned of the growing influence of the "military-industrial complex" on politics and society.
Korean War
The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korean troops invaded South Korea, crossing the 38th parallel dividing line. The United Nations backed the US-led defense of South Korea in an effort to contain communism. Fighting escalated as Chinese troops joined the North Koreans, pushing UN forces back below the 38th parallel. The war settled into a stalemate along the border until an armistice was signed in 1953, leaving Korea still divided at the 38th parallel. The war had significant effects including the rise of the US military-industrial complex and the desegregation of American military units.
1950s Culture
The 1950s saw a period of prosperity and social conformity in the United States. Several key developments included the post-World War II baby boom, the rise of automobile-centered suburban living, and the emergence of consumerism and new household appliances. Television became hugely popular and shaped popular culture, while new youth cultures like rock n' roll music and teen rebellion also emerged. Strict gender roles were emphasized, and families often conformed to stereotypical television portrayals of suburban life. Religious observance increased and the nuclear family became the societal ideal.
Mobilization--WWII
FDR took steps in the early 1940s to prepare the US for potential involvement in World War II by asking businesses to support Britain's defense efforts and warning of threats posed by Axis nations like Germany. He knew the US would need to massively scale up production of war materials if it did enter the war. FDR mobilized the military and passed laws for conscription. When the US did enter the war in 1941, the government took control of the economy and directed industries to focus on weapons production. Massive federal spending and taxation financed the war effort while rationing and shortages affected daily life on the home front.
Road to War
The document summarizes the rise of fascism in Europe in the 1930s and the events leading up to America's entry into World War 2. It describes how Germany, Italy, and Japan increasingly violated international laws and invaded other nations. While the League of Nations condemned these actions, they were unable to stop them. Britain and France initially pursued a policy of appeasement toward Germany. As Germany continued expanding territorially through Europe, President Roosevelt took steps to increase US defense and aid to Britain through measures like Lend-Lease, but most Americans still favored isolationism. The war began in Europe in 1939 with the German invasion of Poland. By 1940, Germany had conquered much of the continent while Britain stood alone, increasing pressure
Foreign Policy Between the Wars
American foreign policy in the 1920s and 1930s was characterized by isolationism as well as debates around interventionism. The US rejected international agreements like the Versailles Treaty and pursued naval disarmament. FDR introduced policies like the Good Neighbor policy and cash-and-carry to aid allies while maintaining neutrality. However, the rise of fascism in Europe and aggression in Asia challenged this neutrality, culminating in the 1939 Neutrality Act allowing the US to aid allies in a limited way.
3rd Amendment
The document summarizes the history and key aspects of the 3rd Amendment. It prohibits the quartering of soldiers in private homes during peacetime without consent and requires legal procedures if done during wartime. The amendment was a response to British actions during the colonial period like the Quartering Acts that forced colonists to house soldiers. While never the subject of a Supreme Court ruling, one case in 1982 found it does apply to states by prohibiting the National Guard from occupying the homes of striking prison guards. The 3rd Amendment is seen as protecting privacy in one's home from government intrusion.
