Richard Nixon (Richard Milhous Nixon)

Richard Nixon was the 37th President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974. He is known for ending American involvement in the Vietnam War, establishing the Environmental Protection Agency, and for his foreign policy efforts, including opening relations with China. Nixon's presidency was marred by the Watergate scandal, a political scandal involving break-ins at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and subsequent cover-ups, which led to his resignation—the only U.S. president to do so. Despite controversies, Nixon's impact on U.S. domestic policies and international relations remains significant in American history.
