Checkpoint: Nixons Politics 2
I think that Nixons policies were more diplomatic than militant in that he actually made
moves towards ending the war. Foreign policies throughout the Cold War were mostly hostile as
the conflict between the Superpowers and the USSR was a power struggle. There were plans that
were put into action to build up industrial and weapon artillery to try and seem more powerful
than the other during this time.
However, there was no effort put forth by the superpowers or USSR to stop the war, even
though there was never an actual declaration of war upon one another. Nixon made efforts to
create peace with foreign countries little by little by opening communication and creating
agreements with them to move forward.
The student unrest was directly related to the war, as there were issues with the draft related
to school. Students could be drafted into the military without a choice if their schooling was not
up to standards set up by the government. Political outcomes of the war included the annexation
of the republic of South Vietnam, and the unification of North and South Vietnam. Social
outcomes included the united countries becoming communist.
