Richard Nixon's Foreign Policy (Cold War - APUSH)

www.tomrichey.net
In this lecture, I explain the elements of President Richard Nixon's foreign policy (Detente, Nixon Doctrine, Vietnamization, Madman Theory, etc.) after offering a great deal of context in the form of a summary of US Cold War policy under Truman, Ike, Kennedy, and Johnson. Nixon's approach to the Cold War was a turning point in American foreign policy, turning the US away from the bombastic rhetoric and brinkmanship of the preceding decades. With the help of his Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, Nixon took a pragmatic approach to improving the standing of the United States in the global balance of power. This lecture is especially appropriate for AP US History students, those taking US History at colleges and universities, and curious lifelong learners.

    I love this one, Tom! "First and only, to resign. Said he wasn't a crook. But there were three crimes. Got out of Vietnam, but it took him awhile, awhile, awhileeeee, awhileeeee." kzread.info/dash/bejne/mZ6Iy7yLY7LUZtI.html

    Great vid! It’s refreshing to actually learn about Nixons actions that didnt have to do with watergate or the gold standard.

    Nice synopsis Mr. Richey, ur visuals nicely punctuate ur points clearly (& the intercessary guitar riffs keep everyone's attention on their toes). U have Nixon smiling in his grave for highlighting the jewels of his career, China & Russia without touching the cloud of ignominy that hung over him for the remainder of his life after Watergate. Exactly the way he would like to be remembered, nice summary lecture, ty.

    The 'Madman Theory' is reminiscent of the role of the jackal in Rudyard Kipling's 'The Jungle Book'.
