The Watergate scandal began in the early hours of June 17, 1972 when a security guard discovered tape covering door locks at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate office complex. Police found five men inside with cameras and wiretapping equipment. The break-in was later traced back to the Nixon administration's "Plumbers" unit, a secret police force established by Nixon to stop media leaks. Over the course of two years, the scandal grew to involve multiple break-ins at the DNC as well as other criminal acts authorized by the Nixon administration, ultimately leading to Nixon's resignation in August 1974.

Watergate scandal
The Watergate scandal involved the 1972 break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington D.C. by five men associated with President Richard Nixon's re-election committee. The ensuing investigation revealed that Nixon had attempted to cover up White House involvement and abused federal powers to spy on political opponents. This led to impeachment proceedings and Nixon's resignation in 1974, damaging trust in government. The scandal demonstrated that a free press could hold leaders accountable and increased cynicism around political corruption.

Facing impeachment and a loss of public support, Richard Nixon resigned as president on August 9, 1974, becoming the only U.S. president to resign from office. His successor, Gerald Ford, later issued a controversial pardon of Nixon for any federal crimes he may have committed.

Watergate notes
Richard Nixon was elected president in 1968 and re-elected in a landslide in 1972. However, in June 1972 five men were arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate office complex. This began the Watergate scandal that eventually led to Nixon's resignation. Investigations by the Senate committee and a special prosecutor revealed Nixon's involvement in the cover-up of White House connections to the burglary. As more information came out through hearings and subpoenaed tapes, Nixon lost public and political support. He resigned in August 1974 before the House could impeach him to avoid almost certain removal from office.

Immigrant groups like the Irish and Chinese provided cheap labor for America's growing transportation infrastructure in the 19th century, but faced prejudice and discrimination. Irish immigrants worked on canals, roads and railroads in the East and Midwest, while Chinese immigrants helped build the Transcontinental Railroad in the West. However, both groups faced violence and were blamed for issues like unemployment. The Irish Potato Famine also led to a large wave of Irish immigration in the 1840s. An example was 57 Irish laborers who died of cholera and violence while working on a Pennsylvania railroad project in 1832. Discrimination against Chinese Americans grew so strong that the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act barred new Chinese immigration for 10 years.

Watergate
Richard Nixon resigned as President of the United States on August 9, 1974 due to the Watergate scandal, in which his re-election campaign committee broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters to steal documents and bug their offices. As investigations by the Washington Post, Senate committees, and special prosecutors uncovered crimes committed by the Nixon administration related to the break-in and cover-up, public support for Nixon declined and the House Judiciary Committee moved forward with impeachment proceedings. Nixon ultimately chose to resign to avoid certain impeachment and removal from office.

The Watergate Scandal involved President Nixon's secretive behavior, including creating an enemies list and wiretapping phones of his staff and reporters. In 1972, five men broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate hotel and were later connected to Nixon's re-election campaign. Journalists Woodward and Bernstein kept reporting on the story as the Senate began public hearings. Nixon eventually resigned in August 1974 after special prosecutor Archibald Cox was fired, impeachment hearings began, and Nixon released tapes of his conversations that implicated him in the cover up.

However, the decade also saw the rise of political conservatism in response. The Watergate scandal eroded trust in the federal government after the Nixon administration's cover up of the 1972 break in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters was revealed. Culturally, the decade saw the rise of blockbuster films, popular television shows that addressed social issues, and the growth of disco and stadium rock music. Emerging technologies like home computers and digital storage were introduced.
