Which American presidency was highlighted by an ambitious trip to China that stabilized a 25-year rift between the two superpowers?
  1. Richard Nixon
  2. Ronald Reagan
  3. George H.W. Bush
  4. Bill Clinton
Explanation
Answer: A - Richard Nixon's visit to the People's Republic of China in 1972 dramatically altered the tenuous relationship between the two nations, and tipped the Cold War in America's favor. While the Nixon presidency is best remembered for the Watergate cover up and Nixon's eventual resignation, the trip to the PRC remains the highlight of his administration and is often the only significant action for which he is given credit in spite of everything else than transpired during his term.
