Briefly describe the Watergate scandal and how the white house reacted to it?

The Watergate scandal was a political scandal in the United States in the 1970s, resulting from the break-in into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. Effects of the scandal ultimately led to the resignation of the United States President Richard Nixon on August 9, 1974. In June of 1972 in Washington, D.C. an event occurred, a burglary, which ended up holding worldwide importance. It was on this date that five people broke into the Democratic National Headquarters to bug their telephones. These men were members of the 'Plumbers', a group of anti-Castro Cuban refugees, former FBI agents and former CIA agents among others. The group was strongly Republican. The place they broke into was The Watergate Hotel. Many people remember the name Watergate as a blanket term used to describe the fall of President Richard Nixon.


Where did the term Watergate come from?

This term came from the breakin of the Watergate hotel that was used as site for the Democratic party during Nixon presidency.Subsequent history has proven that breakin with those employed in the Republican party of Richard Nixon.The people were jailed and Nixon was impeached as a direct result of that which was confirmed in the infamous Nixon Whitehouse tapes. Improvement: NO. That is NOT true. Nixon was NOT impeached, you dumb people. He RESIGNED. God.


How did the watergate scandal affect the mood of the citizens of America?

I think most people got bored with all the congressional hearings. People who did not like Nixon found the scandal to be a reason to hate him. The Democrats won the White House in 1976 with a weak candidate, probably due in large part to the Watergate Scandal and Ford's pardon of Nixon.


A major effect of the Watergate scandal of the 1970s was that it?

Many people felt that the government, particularly the Presidency, had betrayed them.
