A study of Nixon’s foreign policy makes a great deal of sense if students have already studied the Vietnam War and / or the 1973 Chilean Coup (each of which provides a major area of overlap with Nixon). In this compact study unit, students revisit these topics and broaden out to consider not just Nixon’s policies with the USSR and China, but also in South Africa, the Middle East (Yom Kippur War), and Mexico. They then tackle a past paper question in timed conditions.
