History has not been kind to Nixon. If anything, as his action see light of day, we learn he was far more corrupt that people knew at the time. The Vietnam war was essentially over at the time of Paris talks with Johnson, under the pressure of bombing the north was ready to sign a cease fire.
Nixon realized that if Johnson ended the war before the election, the Republicans had no chance of winning. So he sent an envoy to negotiate privately with the north saying that if they held off signing an accord, he would offer them better terms. That is treason, pure and simple.
Only the President can negotiate with foreign countries. Nixon got his way and America had 4 more years of ground conflict in Asia as he expanded the war into Cambodia and Laos. Nixon's other main achievement was the opening of trade with China.
So this paved the way for Walmart to flood the American market with cheaply made goods and begin the globalization of former American industry and jobs. Trade agreements need to include provisions that prevent the manipulation of currency which China used to make its goods artificially low priced as it subsidized its factories. Trade agreements need to address resource management so that one country can't pollute another with its excess carbon emission.
Trade agreements need to address worker and citizen rights to prevent Tiananmen Square atrocities, use of political prisoners as industry slave labor, and suppression of organized labor. That is where Obama's TPP stands tall compared to Nixon's handing Asia the keys to the American market.
He looks very good to me now. He did far less wrong than Clinton, Bush 2 and especially Obama.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
