Water Gate Scandal?

The Watergate Scandal was a scandal that occurred during the Nixon Administration. Nixon was paranoid after the pentagon papers were released so he assigned "white house plumbers" to prevent information from leaking to the public. He had these plumbers go to the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate Hotel to steal documents and wire tap phone lines. The incident was made popular due to the journalist Bob Woodward. A man named Alex Butterfield released information that president Nixon had tapes he was keeping secret. Nixon had also given out hush money to the burglars so they don't say anything. After the tapes were released, Nixon resigned (quit) to avoid being impeached and vice president Gerald Ford took his place and pardoned all charges against Nixon. This means that Gerald Ford basically cancelled all charges on Nixon and Nixon wasn't given any real punishment for this scandal.

Was President Nixon impeached as a result of the Watergate scandal?

Yes. President Nixon was impeached. However, we first must define impeachment. Impeachment is the trial that Nixon went through. He was found guilty (obviously guilty) and was therefore impeached. After he was found guilty there were discussions on whether to "fire" him from his job as president but Nixon quit before anything could happen. He therefore was able to keep the benefits that any former president would have and (sort of but not really) save face.
