On This Day in American History
On April 22, 1994, former President Richard M. Nixon dies at age 81. The 37th president is most remembered for the Watergate scandal, which eventually led to his resignation early in his second term. Despite his reputation as a staunch anti-communist, Nixon’s most lasting foreign policy achievement was opening relations between the U.S. and China. That led to a warming relationship with the Soviet Union known as détente. Domestically, Nixon worked to pass the 1969 National Environmental Policy Act, which created the Environmental Protection Agency, the Clean Water Act of 1972 and the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
