Some of the pros for pardoning Nixon by President Ford include:

  • It would put the Watergate Scandal to rest.
  • It would further expose to government to scrutiny which might lead to a loss of public trust.

Some of the cons for pardoning Nixon were:

  • It would be an unpopular move that would cost Ford support.
  • Nixon would have escaped justice.

<h3>What were pros and cons of pardoning Nixon?</h3>

If Nixon was pardoned, it would have the benefit of putting the Watergate Scandal to rest. This was important because the issue was polarizing the nation.

Taking a former president to trial would have also led to the people losing confidence in the position of the President which would have been very negative.

On the other hand, Nixon had committed a crime and should be punished like everyone else and pardoning him would mean he would escape this justice. Most people were also against a pardon at the time.

Nueve eventos que te permitan entender el conflicto entre la Unión de Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas y Estados Unidos y el pa
Roman55 [17]

La respuesta correcta a esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Los nueve eventos que nos permiten entender el conflicto entre la Unión de Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas y Estados Unidos durante el periodo llamado de la Guerra Fría, son los siguientes.

1) El primer incidente grave entre estos dos países fue el bloqueo de Berlín, ordenado por el líder Soviético Joseph Stalin en Junio de 1948. Las tropas Rusas bloquearon las entradas hacia Berlín, como una represalia por las decisiones de los Aliados.

2) El segundo incidente fue la decisión de los Aliados de llevar víveres, alimentos y provisiones a Berlín, por medio de aviones. Durante los once meses siguientes, aviones de la Fuerza Aérea Británica y Norteamericana transportaron todo tipo de ayuda a Berlín.

3) El derribo del avión norteamericano "U-2," en mayo 1, de 1960.

4) La Crisis de los Misiles Cubano, en octubre de 1962. El mundo estuvo al borde de otra Guerra Mundial, debido a la crisis por los Misiles Soviéticos instalados en Cuba, que apuntaban a las ciudades importantes de los Estados Unidos.

5) La Guerra de Corea. En su lucha por mantener el control en ciertas regiones del mundo, la Unión Soviética brindó apoyo a Corea del Norte, bajo la influencia Comunista. Como era de esperarse, los Estados Unidos dieron todo su respaldo a Corea del Sur.

b) Algo similar sucedió con La Guerra de Vietnam. Estados Unidos decidió apoyar a Vietnam del Sur, mientras que la URSS decidió apoyar a Vietnam del Norte.

7) El lanzamiento del satélite Soviético Sputnik, que representó una clara ventaja de los Soviéticos sobre los norteamericanos, por conquistar el espacio.

8) La firma del tratado SALT, para limitar la producción de misiles nucleares.

9) La etapa de renovación de la URSS con la implementación de los programas Glasnot y Perestroika, respaldados por el líder Soviético Mikahil Gorbachev.

Durante todo este conflicto, la mayoría de países Latinoamericanos se mantuvieron a la expectativa pero por razones geográficas naturales, se veían inclinados a favorecer las decisiones de los Estados Unidos. La única excepción fue Cuba. Fidel Castro decidió sumarse al apoyo Soviético e instaló el Comunismo en su país.
