Nixon Became the First President to Visit China
A trip to China making history?! It can when it’s the first time an American president has embarked on the journey! Although this looks like a friendly gathering. This meeting was filled with political motives, America and China had been at odds for years. With America having a strong presence in the Vietnam war. Nixon was hoping the visit would stabilize relations between the two countries. The 70s saw a lot of ‘firsts’ this was one of the many.
