Watergate

The Watergate scandal was a political event that occurred in the United States in the 1970s as a result of the June 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C., and the Nixon administration's and the ensuing cover-up. The event ultimately led to the resignation of then President Richard Nixon. Memorabilia and collectible items from this event are very collectible, including buttons, posters, souvenirs from the watergate apartments and hotel.
