The US and Western nations established policies and alliances like the Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, and NATO to contain the spread of communism and Soviet influence, engaging in a nuclear arms race and policy of brinkmanship with the Soviet Union. These tensions defined the Cold War era between the Western and Eastern blocs.

Nixon responded with policies like the Emergency Highway Conservation Act and investing in nuclear power to reduce dependence on foreign oil. He also oversaw the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and passage of environmental laws such as the Clean Air Act.

Tengowski - Nixon day 5
Gerald Ford served as the 38th President of the United States after succeeding Richard Nixon. As President, Ford pardoned Nixon for his crimes in the Watergate scandal, which decreased his popularity. He attempted to curb inflation through policies like WIN (Whip Inflation Now) and tax cuts, but inflation continued to rise. In foreign policy, Ford oversaw the fall of Saigon to North Vietnam and the failed rescue attempt of sailors captured by Cambodia. He also negotiated arms agreements with the Soviet Union and helped end the Yom Kippur War in the Middle East.

The 1970s saw economic struggles in the US including high inflation, rising gas prices due to oil embargoes, and stagnating growth. President Carter attempted to address these issues but was unable to curb inflation or resolve the Iranian hostage crisis. His domestic policies were also unsuccessful at stimulating the economy or enacting major reforms. Meanwhile, tensions with the Soviet Union increased as dรฉtente broke down, culminating in the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. While Carter achieved the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, his presidency came to be defined by a "crisis in confidence" at home and an inability to project strong leadership domestically or abroad.
Vietnam Nixon
The document discusses several key events and strategies around ending the Vietnam War. It describes Nixon's "Peace with Honor" approach of withdrawing troops over 14 phases between 1968 and 1972. It also mentions escalated bombing of Cambodia and the leaking of the Pentagon Papers, which detailed government deception about the war. The war was not ending as most Americans hoped, with bombing and involvement in other countries increasing.
Tengowski - Nixon day 4
During the 1970s, President Nixon took several actions to address the energy crisis and environmental issues facing the nation. He established agencies and passed legislation to regulate car emissions, speed limits, and the environment. However, Nixon's presidency came to an end due to the Watergate scandal, where it was revealed that Nixon had tried to cover-up a break-in at the Democratic National Headquarters and obstructed the investigation. After impeachment proceedings began in Congress and tapes revealed Nixon had deleted key evidence, he resigned in August 1974 to avoid certain impeachment and removal from office.

1961 was a difficult year for President Kennedy. Key events included:
1) The USSR won the space race by putting the first man in orbit while the US began catching up with Alan Shepard's suborbital flight. Kennedy vowed to land a man on the moon.
2) The failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba embarrassed Kennedy and strengthened Castro.
3) During the Berlin Crisis, Khrushchev erected the Berlin Wall after threatening war if the US didn't leave Berlin. Kennedy acknowledged the wall was better than war.
The jfk assassination
Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President John F. Kennedy in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. Oswald fired three shots from the sixth floor window of the Texas School Book Depository, fatally wounding JFK. He then fled the building and fatally shot Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit. Oswald was arrested later that day in a movie theater and charged with the assassinations. Two days later, Oswald was shot and killed by Jack Ruby in the basement of the Dallas police department, before he could stand trial. The circumstances of the assassination led to widespread conspiracy theories that others beyond Oswald were involved.
Unit iii 10 lbj domestic policy
President Lyndon B. Johnson focused on tax cuts, civil rights, and fighting poverty through major reforms and programs. This included a 4% tax cut inspired by JFK, the 1964 Civil Rights Act which banned employment and public accommodations discrimination, and the Office of Economic Opportunity which provided $1 billion for programs like Food Stamps, Job Corps, VISTA, Head Start, and Upward Bound. Johnson was elected in a landslide over Barry Goldwater and given a mandate to enact sweeping reforms.

JFK Day 4
The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in August-October 1962 when the US discovered that the USSR had placed nuclear missiles in Cuba. This brought the two countries closest to WWIII. In response, JFK imposed a blockade around Cuba and demanded the missiles be removed. On October 24th, USSR ships stopped short of the blockade, and on October 28th Khruschev announced the missiles would be removed from Cuba in exchange for the US removing missiles from Turkey and promising not to invade Cuba again. The crisis highlighted the need for improved communication between the US and USSR and led to the establishment of a direct hotline.
Jfk day 2
JFK pursued a foreign policy of flexible response that involved 6 stages: 1) maintaining nuclear weapons but seeking options beyond deterrence, 2) increasing conventional weapons and defense spending, 3) creating covert special forces units like the Green Berets, 4) providing $20 billion in economic aid through programs like the Alliance for Progress, 5) establishing the Peace Corps to promote democracy abroad, and 6) pursuing diplomacy to solve international problems through communication.

The1970s Carter Fo Po
Foreign policy priorities included expanding human rights, preventing conflicts like Vietnam and Chile, and assisting the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. The Panama Canal Treaties transferred control of the canal to Panama by 2000. Recognition of China in 1979 aimed to contain the USSR and boost trade. The Camp David Accords brought peace between Israel and Egypt. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 was condemned and the US supported Afghan rebels. The Iranian hostage crisis erupted after the Shah was deposed, with 52 Americans held for over a year. These crises weakened US influence and confidence in Carter's leadership.
Nixon Day 9
The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979 with 80,000 troops, which President Carter called the greatest threat to peace. The US supported anti-Soviet Islamic rebels including Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban with $40 billion in aid. Iran also experienced unrest in 1979 as the Shah was removed from power, resulting in Iranian students taking 52 American hostages at the US embassy in Tehran for 444 days. Carter's weak response to these crises, including a failed rescue operation, led Americans to feel their influence had declined and left them wanting a stronger leader.
Bilal majid
The Cold War in the Middle East saw increasing tensions and proxy conflicts between the United States and Soviet Union from the 1950s to late 1970s. There were four main episodes: the 1956 Suez Crisis, the 1967 Six Day War, the 1973 Yom Kippur War, and the 1978 Camp David Accords. These events were driven by superpower competition for influence in the region, efforts to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict, and ideological battles between secular nationalism and Islamic movements. Key leaders like Nasser of Egypt and various Israeli prime ministers were central figures during this volatile period in the region.

Cold war again
Jimmy Carter was the 39th president of the USA from 1977 to 1981. During his presidency, he negotiated SALT II with Soviet leader Brezhnev to limit strategic nuclear weapons between the US and USSR. However, the treaty was never ratified due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and Carter losing the 1980 election to Ronald Reagan. Reagan took a harder line against the Soviet Union, describing it as an "evil empire" in a 1983 speech. He increased defense spending and proposed the Strategic Defense Initiative to develop missile defenses. The Soviet war in Afghanistan contributed to weakening the USSR's economy and led to its collapse in the late 1980s.
