Richard Nixon was a controversial United States president during the Cold War against the Soviet Union. Even though he was re-elected after a landslide victory in 1972, he became the only president in US history to resign from office. Why? <br /> <br />Watergate. A word that has become synonymous with the Nixon administration. <br /> <br />Indeed, the president's abuse of power shocked America - spying, harassing political enemies, silencing critics and fighting to keep his darkest secrets away from the public eye. <br /> <br />Even though he ended the American involvement in the Vietnam War, was Nixon actually a peacemaker? How are the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal related? <br /> <br />If you think Watergate was a scandal, you don't know anything about Richard Nixon. <br /> <br />Sources: http://www.fdrurl.com/nixon <br /> <br />Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.
