The cartographer Gerardus Mercator created the Mercator projection by mathematically projecting a vertically oriented cylinder tangent to the Equator. Navigators used this type of map because any straight line on a Mercator map is a line of constant direction. Mercator map projections shows true direction between places the best, but are not equal area or equidistant. This is the projection of choice from Google maps for this reason, despite how the south and north poles distort land size.

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

1968 Presidential election.

Explanation:

The Presidential election of 1968 saw the Republican candidate and former Vice president Richard Nixon defeat his opponents, Democratic candidate Hubert Humphrey and Independent candidate George Wallace. This election may have brought about major changes in the political scene like changes in the realigning election. But it was also marred by the other disasters such as the assassination of President Robert Kennedy, who was one of the candidates for the Democrats. Then followed the civil unrest, and even the issues of the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War all come to blow out, leading to a major disruption amidst the election scene.
