“I am not a crook!” “If the president does it, it’s not illegal.”

Policy of Détente The 1970s policy towards the Soviets of Nixon, Ford & Carter “An easing of tension with the Soviets” Soviet Union and U.S. sign the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT I) which froze the deployment of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and placed limits on antiballistic missiles (ABMs)

Nixon in China 1972 Nixon becomes the first President to visit China The Peoples Republic of China formally recognized as “China” by the US Nixon hoped to… Create a massive PR boost for his reelection Settle issues related to Taiwan Drive a wedge between USSR & China Bring China into forcing a peace treaty in Vietnam

Iran Hostage Crisis Islamic Revolution overthrows the US allied Shaw of Iran Students overtake the US Embassy and capture the staff An attempted rescue mission fails The Crisis is seen as a sign of both Carter’s weakness and the US in general being weak post Vietnam
