C30 Crisis of Authority

Page history last edited by Cher McDonald 4 years, 11 months ago

Chapter 30 - The 1970s - Crisis of Authority

American's optimism and trust in government is shattered by the Watergate scandal and the seemingly never-ending Vietnam war. America and the Soviet Union ease tensions during the seventies but Reagan rides a roller-coaster of diplomatic relations during the eighties.  The escalated arms race of the eighties is just one of the factors that will lead to the collapse of international communism.

The specific focus of this unit will be on:

D. Beginning of Détente

E. The antiwar movement and the counterculture

A. The election of 1968 and the “Silent Majority”

B. Nixon’s challenges: Vietnam, China, and Watergate

C. Changes in the American economy: the energy crisis, de-industrialization, and the service economy
