CHAPTER 32 - The Nixon Administration


Each summary also has underlined terms that are hyperlinked so that the student can reasearch topics further. 

The election of President Nixon in 1968 led to a 24-year period of almost uninterrupted Republican control of the White House. The new President's domestic and foreign policies marked a shift in national politics. But Nixon's leadership style led to scandal and his own eventual downfall. Gerald Ford tried to heal the nation after the scandal, but the country's trust in its highest office was severely shaken. It was no surprise, then, when Washington outsider Jimmy Carter was elected to the White House in 1976.
