The Watergate scandal was a political scandal in the early 1970s involving a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and the subsequent cover-up by President Richard Nixon's administration. Key points included the illegal activities carried out by Nixon's aides, the revelation of extensive abuses of power, and the efforts to obstruct justice. The scandal ultimately led to Nixon's resignation in 1974, making him the first U.S. president to do so. It also resulted in significant reforms in campaign finance and government transparency.
