SUBJECT: Vietnam/Watergate 1954-1976

"Well, I'm not a crook....I hereby resign this office of president of the United States."

Richard Nixon
August 9, 1974

We were embroiled in war in South East Asia - Vietnam.

We will continue analyzing our nation's involvement in a war to avoid the Domino Effect - but as the war escalated under Lyndon B. Johnson, the American people (especially the young men forced to die) changed their viewpoints, quickly seeing Vietnam as an unpopular war. Therefore, they sent a clear message to Washington, electing Richard Nixon.


Nixon had significant accomplishments (including reaching out to China), but he will be forever known by the scandal, Watergate - and he will always be known as the only President who resigned...before facing impeachment.

The end of the twentieth century enters a troublesome time...
