Richard Milhous Nixon was born on 9 January 1913 in Yorba Linda, California. The second of five sons of Frank Nixon and his wife Hannah Milhous. His family wasn't wealthy source, but it was animated by an ironclad sense of religiosity. Two of his brothers died of disease in his youth. For this amount of reasons the life of Dick (the nickname was in family) He was always in a rush, the departures lounge and starts uphill to reach their goals. He was a brilliant student, but that doesn't esimette him from collecting his first electoral defeat when he introduced himself as candidate for President of the student body. However he majored in law and not without mishaps bureaucratic devoted himself to advocacy. He served his military service in the Navy and rose to the rank of Lieutenant during World War II while not take a direct part in the fighting. After the war he entered actively into politics by standing in the Republican party. In 1946 He was elected to the House of representatives by defeating the candidate Helen Gahagan Douglas in’ the occasion called him Tricky Dicky (Dick the lazy) nickname that accompanied him all his life and who was to point out the ambiguity of Nixon. His politics and his oratorical talent soon drove him to impose itself as one of the most interesting young American political political and especially of the party. In 1952 He was vice presidential candidate of the United States Dwight Eisenhower. He was a young man with his Vice President 39 years and highlighted for special incaricari showed her dowry oratory and an international relief was from the famous “kitchen debate” all’ International exhibition in Moscow in 1959 where did not fail to point out the great American innovations in the technological field. Then from 1960 began a losing streak before all that at the presidential 1960 against John Kennedy. It was the first tv election clash and was burning for him, in fact, uttered the following sentence “Americans see in Kennedy what they want to be and they see in me than they really are”. Curious was the wall that displayed the Democratic Party to emphasize the lack of trust that emanated Nixon “would you buy a’ used car from this’ male?”. Then in 1962 He presented himself for election to become Governor of his State, California and lost. Another phrase that expressed his resentment and his sense of inferiority that surfaced in the early 1980s 60 was given to the media that they were underestimating “from now on you will no longer have a Richard Nixon to kick around, This is my last press conference” and returned to his legal practice. A curious item which in retrospect made effect was recorded in Texas in November 1963 When Kennedy arrived (where he died a few hours later), Nixon was leaving after a business meeting. In retrospect almost a harbinger of a relay race to the White House postponed, that was then in the 1968 When Johnson gave up a run after the violent polemics about the war in Viet Nam and fate would remove from the race to the White House Robert Kennedy. Nixon won easily in 1968 promising a “Mr peace” in Viet Nam and by focusing on a silent electorate of conservative composition disinclined to movements young hippies with whom she is in contrast. President Nixon was full of important events such as the shipment of’ Apollo 11 the Moon in 1969. Played a role behind the scenes of the Chilean coup of 1973 Pinochet. In 1971 was the protagonist of’ abandonment of the Bretton Woods fixed exchange rate where they abolished the. Was introduced to the allocation of funds to treat cancer. He was the proponent of normalization of relations with China. He promoted a new environmental policy. Another epochal element was given by’ introduction of the health insurance system. Then came the scandal of Watergate in the 1972 and then resigned in 1974. And’ was the only President of the United States forced to resign. Nixon had gained such power that he abused and this led him to make mistakes and to act naughty. Watergate was a building that housed the headquarters of the Democratic Party in the election campaign 1972. Some men were arrested for having sneaked illegally in’ building, investigations learn that this was not a third-rate burglary as wished to believe White House Press Secretary. It was an operation that involved all employees of Nixon in the hierarchical scale. A’ operation that sought to undermine and obstruct the Democratic Party. After this bitter abandonment of political life spent the latter part of his life to take care of the library that bears his name.
