As a "Continent ravaged by a series of revolutionary movements".

After the events of the Second World War, the European countries which held colonies in the African Continent were no longer able to assign economic resources for their adequate maintenance, as they were heavily indebted due to the war. This lack of resources and subsequent mismanagement lead to a series of revolts within the African Colonies, which at the time were French Algeria, Portugues Angola, the Belgian Congo, and British Kenya.

The Khmer Rouge maintained their power by executing intellectuals, teachers, merchants, and anyone in opposition to them. Money, private property, and religion were also abolished to form a communist agrarian society in which many more starved. This movement ended in 1998 with the death of Pol Pot.

Haiti's first dictator, François Duvalier, was able to rise to power after becoming minister of public health and being endeared by the country's people. After being elected prime minister, "Papa Doc," a name given to him by the peasant population, became a ruthless dictator. Duvalier maintained his power by suppressing the current Haitian military and forming his own parliamentary forces which terrorized the population. Before his death in 1971, Duvalier declared himself to be president for life and named his son to be his successor.

Trace how the Watergate crisis brought an end to the Nixon presidency.

Tamiku [17]

The Watergate break-in started when a group of men, known as the "plumbers," broke into the Democratic headquarters. They were arrested for this break-in.

Shortly after this two reporters from the Washington Post (Woodward and Bernstein) found that the current US president, Richard Nixon, might have been involved in ordering this break-in. Their confidential source provided details on how Nixon was involved.

Nixon denied these claims. However, a full scale investigation was launched. During this investigation, the court ordered Nixon to hand over recorded conversations from his office in the White House. He refused, was brought to court, and the Supreme Court ruled that he must turn over the recorded conversations.

These tapes showed Nixon's guilty, causing him to resign shortly after the court case.
