Richard Nixon (Politician)

Richard Nixon was the 37th President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974. A Republican, he is known for significant foreign policy achievements like opening diplomatic relations with China and ending the Vietnam War through complex negotiations. Nixon also established Medicare and Medicaid, expanding social welfare. His administration faced scandal when the Watergate break-in was uncovered, leading to his resignation—the only U.S. president to do so—to avoid impeachment. Despite this turmoil, Nixon’s impact on U.S. foreign policy and domestic programs remains influential in history.
