After the death of Oliver Cromwell (Lord Protector of the
Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland) on 3 September 1658, there was
restoration of the Monarchy. Although Cromwell was succeeded as Lord Protector by
his son, Richard, Richard resigned in 1659 and in 1660, the English Parliament decided
to proclaim Charles king and to invite him to return.
A. Richard Nixon Resigned.
Nixon resigned because the scandal cause him to lose political support. He was more than likely to be impeached therefore he resigned on August 9, 1974... He was the 36th president.
Hope this helps!
Depending on the time, it could be the Phoenicians ( I think this is the best answer; this is what they're known for best) or later in time, the Romans (but they had colonies also elsewhere).
