The Fall of Nixon

The Watergate scandal began in 1972, when burglars broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. The burglars were connected to Nixon's re-election campaign, and the scandal quickly escalated.

Nixon initially tried to cover up his involvement in the break-in, but his efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. In 1974, the House of Representatives voted to impeach Nixon, and he was forced to resign.

Nixon's resignation was a major turning point in American history. It was the first time that a president had been forced to resign from office, and it led to a loss of faith in the government.

The Rise of Reagan

Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1980, after defeating incumbent President Jimmy Carter. Reagan was a conservative Republican, and he promised to reduce the size of government and to restore American greatness.

Reagan's presidency was marked by both success and controversy. He oversaw the end of the Cold War, but he also presided over a period of economic recession. Reagan was a popular figure, but he was also a polarizing one.

Reagan's legacy is still being debated today. Some historians argue that he was a great president who helped to restore American power and prestige. Others argue that he was a divisive figure who exacerbated economic inequality.
