WATERGATE in a Minute

Notes on the Watergate scandal of 1973.

[ljlabradasbro]

What was the point of breaking into watergate? Everyone fails to explain what they were trying to do. :(

[ButOneThingIsNeedful]

Still looking for a good, brief summary of WG. This definitely wasn't it.

[TrustATinOwl]

My favourite thing about the whole scandal is that the alias for whistleblower Mark Felt was 'Deep Throat' lol

[andersonenvy]

My advice: Light it better and work on the narration, too fast to understand

[turntableone]

With Watergate, you had several different scandals going on....the break-in, the cover-up, erasing of the tapes, Nixon's very foul and bigoted language on the tape, the money trail, the firing of the special prosecutor---so it had many different facets.

You should have added that Bob & Carl were being dismissed as junior reporters with a crazy conspiracy theory until Uncle Walter at CBS announced that this investigative reporting at the Post should be taken seriously.

What were the sources you used? I'm doing a report on the Watergate scandal and would like to get as many resources I can get a hold-off. Your video was awesome and very helpful, thanks ;)

This is awesome! Every history teacher should show this in their classroom.

[FunkyDee]

Very informative, thank you! History exam in just over a weeks time!

It's probably a pretty good summary....if I could actually hear it. (I have the volume on my laptop turned all the way up and I still can't hear it very well.) You also talk a bit too fast.

Joe said hold my beer, how’s treason.

[smartassst]

so wait.... you're making it sound like Nixon got guys to break in to retrieve tapes of Nixon getting guys to break in to retrieve the tapes. But if I'm wrong, what did the tapes contain besides the plans to brake in to retrieve the tapes?

[viviana]

Great video! Thanks! A quick tip would be to speak a little slower and clearer!

[tellsathousand]

damcubs search 'List of scandals with "-gate" suffix' and you'll find a wikipedia page full of 'm.

[shinitai]

It saying that 5 if the guy break into the hotel and they was Nixon friend he was retired but he got inpeace

[marwack]

Hold on that was too fast ! How are you expecting us to understand if you are talking like the sound from google translate when you speed it three times.

[daniellack]

Very nicely done...the only really important thing you left out, was the Special Prosecutor, and Nixon's firing of him
