Detailed explanation-1: -The final fifteen months of Carter’s presidential tenure were marked by several major crises, including the 1979 oil crisis, the Iran hostage crisis, and the subsequent failed Operation Eagle Claw. These crises contributed to Carter’s landslide defeat in the 1980 presidential election.
Detailed explanation-2: -In foreign affairs, Carter set his own style. His championing of human rights was coldly received by the Soviet Union and some other nations. In the Middle East, through the Camp David agreement of 1978, he helped bring amity between Egypt and Israel. He succeeded in obtaining ratification of the Panama Canal treaties.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carter believed that the nation’s foreign policy should reflect its highest moral principles-a definite break with the policy and practices of the Nixon Administration.
