What was the reasoning for Nixon to visit China and why was it so important?

1 answer:

7 0

President Richard Nixon visited China in 1972 in order to gain an advantage in the Cold War with the Soviet Union. China was also a communist nation, but in the 1950s and 1960s some distance had developed between the USSR and China in their relationship.

Nixon's administration was also in the process of withdrawing US troops from the war in Vietnam, and establishing a relationship with China would give the US a different opportunity for influence in Asia.

Nixon also was in the midst of domestic difficulties with the Watergate scandal, so making a significant move in foreign policy, such as opening relations with communist China, was a way to enhance his presidency at that time.

Nixon's visit to China was a significant event in changing the dynamics of the Cold War and the United States' posture toward communist countries in general.

Answer:

1) Czar you would not be happy about the revolvolution as it was supposed to remove his power. As workers you would be happy, and hope for some better rights and living conditions. The soldiers were probably tired of war, and maybe wanted to come back home.

2) A treaty should try and bring peace and stability. A classic example is the treaty of versailles where it is a cause of WW2, it broke the german economy and country with the restriction. Maybe if the treaty were better for Germany we may not have had WW2.

3) If you were germany you would be angry that all the blame is put on you. You will find it unfair you have to pay a big amount of money to the other countries. The treaty feels like a big hard push for Germany, and is a reason WW2 started, and how Hitler managed to grab the power in Germany.
