Nixon and the Watergate Scandal // New smash bros game!

Information Friday!

Hey gang! I just learned about a really scary event that happened with none other than... RICHARD NIXON?! I had no idea about this! I was sitting my fat ass in high school, when suddenly my teacher started to talk all about the Watergate Scandal.


The Watergate scandal was a political scandal in the United States during the 1970s. It began with the burglary and wiretapping of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. on June 17, 1972, by operatives linked to President Richard Nixon's reelection campaign. The scandal escalated when it was revealed that Nixon and his administration had attempted to cover up their involvement in the break-in and other illegal activities. This led to a series of investigations by Congress and the media.

The scandal ultimately resulted in the resignation of President Nixon on August 9, 1974, becoming the only U.S. president to resign from office. Several of Nixon's top aides were convicted of crimes related to the scandal, and Nixon himself was pardoned by his successor, President Gerald Ford, to avoid further legal proceedings. The Watergate scandal had a lasting impact on American politics, leading to reforms aimed at increasing transparency and accountability in government.
