On May 17, 1972, a significant event in U.S. history occurred when five men were arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. This break-in would lead to a major political scandal involving President Richard Nixon's administration. The subsequent investigation revealed widespread abuses of power and ultimately led to Nixon's resignation in 1974. The Watergate scandal had a lasting impact on American politics and public trust in government.
