History

Answer:  They wanted to obtain information that they could use to defeat the Democratic candidate in the 1972 presidential election.  The CRP (also sometimes known as CREEP) was the "Committee to Re-Elect the President," in support of incumbent president Richard Nixon.

Further background/context:

The first break-in by burglars associated with the Committee to Re-Elect the President (Nixon) was in May, 1972.  The "Plumbers" group (as they were known), broke into the Democratic National Committee office in the Watergate complex of buildings in Washington, DC.  They were planting wire-taps on the Democrats' phone lines, and also stole copies of documents.  When the wire-taps didn't work properly, they broke in again (in June) to try to fix the surveillance devices, but they were caught.

The formation of the "Plumbers" actually preceded Watergate.  They were a "special investigations" unit that the Nixon White House had set up in 1971 to stop the leaking of classified information.  Members of this group were those then later involved in the Watergate break-in (among other activities).

Nixon's role in Watergate was especially in his efforts and those of members of his staff to cover up what had happened.  Ultimately, the Watergate affair brought down the Nixon presidency.  He resigned in order to avoid impeachment.  And the whole affair made Americans more distrusting of government.

In order to gain more information, the CRP ordered a burglary into the headquarters of the Democratic national committee. They wanted to gain an advantage in the upcoming elections of the state. This was followed by the Watergate scandal, in which President Nixon's administration tried to cover up their involvement in this break-out. All of this happened in 1970. A constitutional crisis occurred when the scandal was investigated by the Congress and in which there was resistance from Nixon's administration.

Svetach [21]

An enormously influential biological exchange occurred when Europeans landed in the Americas, to the benefit and detriment of Europeans and Natives. Old World—New World plant and animal exchange resulted in sugar and bananas crossing the Atlantic while pigs, sheep, and cattle arrived in the Americas. The transfer of European diseases had catastrophic repercussions: influenza, typhus, measles, and smallpox devastated the Native American population. The Biological Exchange (also called the Columbian Exchange or Grand Exchange) is one of the most significant biogeological events of world history, affecting almost every society on earth and historians have only recently begun to question the event and the way it has been traditionally interpreted. In the traditional interpretation of the Biological Exchange, Indians lived in harmony with their environment in a pristine world and both the Natives and the environment were suddenly devastated following the arrival of Europeans. Biological exchanges of plants and animals enabled a better and longer life for Europeans, who took food items like potatoes and corn back to the old world were suddenly able to grow food to support their large population while reducing the population overgrowth by transporting humans to the new world.
