Richard Nixon (U.S. President)

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, opening diplomatic relations with China, and implementing significant domestic policies like the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency. However, his presidency was marred by the Watergate scandal, where his administration was accused of covering up a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters. This led to his resignation in 1974, making him the first U.S. president to step down from office. Nixon remains a complex figure in American history.
