Answer:
The correct answer is C. Richard Nixon took both liberal and conservative positions on issues (he was a moderate-Republican).
Explanation:
Richard Nixon was the 37th President of the United States from 1969 to 1974.
During his presidency, relations with the Soviet Union and China were normalized. He also initiated agreements to reduce the number of strategic nuclear weapons, which ended in the SALT I treaty. In 1972, he was the first US President to visit China and meet with Chinese leader Mao Zedong. As part of the improvement in relations between the United States and Communist China, which was directed against the Soviet Union, the so-called One China policy was recognized, according to which there is only one legitimate political power in the ruling entity called China, and Taiwan is only one of China's provinces.
He also began withdrawing American troops from Vietnam, which was the beginning of the so-called "Vietnamization" of the war, but also extended the bombing to neighboring Cambodia and Laos.
A historic step was also his decision in 1971 to abandon the Bretton Woods international monetary system and the convertibility of the US dollar for gold.
In 1973, he supported a military coup against the democratically elected left-wing government in Chile and the establishment of General Pinochet's military dictatorship.
In the fall of 1973, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) imposed an embargo on oil exports to the United States and other countries that supported Israel during the Yom Kippur War, causing an oil shock to the world.
In domestic politics, his tenure as President of the United States was marked by the Watergate affair. It broke out on June 17, 1972, when police detained five people at the Watergate complex, which housed the Democratic Party, who had installed wiretaps. The White House denied having anything to do with the burglary until August 5, 1974, when he admitted that he had known about the Watergate affair from the beginning and deliberately lied. On August 8, 1974, Nixon announced his resignation as President, and Gerald Ford took his place the following day.
