    President Woodrow Wilson supported President Theodore Roosevelt 's foreign policy of aggressive nationalism, but preferred a more diplomatic approach. President Wilson hoped to revolutionize internal affairs. He first displayed his ideas in the Fourteen Point speech. Wilson wanted to dismember the imperial order by opening up colonial holdings to eventual self-rule and all European sections of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires to immediate independence. Their attitudes and actions mirrored their characters; Roosevelt was "open, aggressive, and high-spirited", while Wilson was more reserved in nature. After losing the Republican primary to Taft in 1912, Roosevelt became the nominee for the Progressive party. Wilson was the Democrat 's nominee. Their campaigns touted New Nationalism (Roosevelt) versus New Freedom (Wilson), but both campaigns had some common messages. Both candidates were concerned with righting the wrongs of corruption and the role of increased governmental controls and regulations over business. "But Roosevelt welcomed federal power, national planning, and business growth". Both President Roosevelt and President Wilson achieved much while in office. Roosevelt was a strong proponent of the nation 's natural resources, and protected and preserved the natural habitat by establishing national parks and forests. He also worked to control trusts, in order to protect workers, consumers, small businesses, and the economy. The Pure Food and Drug Act was ratified during his administration.

Latin American relations continued to be dominated by the United States, as Wilson continued the…

    John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon were both very popular presidents of the United States of America. They both had tremendous influences on history that can never be forgotten. Both of them were elected to congress in 1946, which was a period when Republicans were taking control of Congress. During the presidential election of 1960, both candidates had unorthodox viewpoints. There is a quote from Nixon when he was looking at a portrait of Kennedy that says “When they look at you, they see what they want to be. When they look at me, they see what they are.” Nixon, who was supposed to be a conservative Republican, pushed an anti-New Deal reform; however, Kennedy started out with a fairly conservative description of himself. Both Kennedy and Nixon were opposed to the approaching Cold War the day they were sworn in office. While on the campaign, Kennedy told a radio show that he berated a bunch of youngsters for having flawed views on the Soviet Union, which reinforced his conservative view of domestic policy.…

    Nixon ran for a second term in office as President of the United States and won; by a landslide might I add. Soon after elections; on July 16 everything that had been kept quiet changed. Alexander Butterfield, a White House aide, before the Senate committee revealed that there was existence in the White House of a secret taping system. In the end the tapes revealed that Nixon had recorded all of his telephone conversations, including those in which he ordered his subordinates to cover up the fact that they had hired burglars to break into the Democratic National Headquarters in the Watergate Hotel. During the Watergate Hearings, the Commission investigating the break-in learned of these tapes and demanded that Nixon turn them over to them. At first he refused, but eventually he gave them the tapes. The Watergate Scandal ultimately led to the resignation of Richard Nixon, the President of the United States, on August 9, 1974. Nixon was the only resignation of a U.S. President. The Watergate Scandal in the long run ended in the indictment; trial; conviction; and incarceration of 43 people.
