USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -During his Presidency, Nixon succeeded in ending American fighting in Viet Nam and improving relations with the U.S.S.R. and China. But the Watergate scandal brought fresh divisions to the country and ultimately led to his resignation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Richard Nixon’s tenure as the 37th president of the United States began with his first inauguration on January 20, 1969, and ended when he resigned on August 9, 1974, in the face of almost certain impeachment because of the Watergate Scandal and resigned, the only U.S. president ever to do so.

Detailed explanation-3: -After extensive negotiations and the bombing of North Vietnam in December 1972, the Paris Peace Accords were signed in January 1973. Under the provisions of the Accords, U.S. forces were completely withdrawn.

Detailed explanation-4: -With his complicity in the cover-up made public, and his political support completely eroded, Nixon resigned from office on August 9, 1974.
