http://www.tomrichey.net • In this lecture, I explain the elements of President Richard Nixon's foreign policy (Detente, Nixon Doctrine, Vietnamization, Madman Theory, etc.) after offering a great deal of context in the form of a summary of US Cold War policy under Truman, Ike, Kennedy, and Johnson. Nixon's approach to the Cold War was a turning point in American foreign policy, turning the US away from the bombastic rhetoric and brinkmanship of the preceding decades. With the help of his Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, Nixon took a pragmatic approach to improving the standing of the United States in the global balance of power. This lecture is especially appropriate for AP US History students, those taking US History at colleges and universities, and curious lifelong learners. • This video is one of many included on my AP US History Review Playlist: • APUSH Review Playlist (AP US History)
