My favorite time in history is the 1970's. Although I did not grow up during this period I have a lot of knowledge from watching various movies, books , documentaries, or listening to music that was either made in that era or took place during it. In this article I will be covering the main events that took place in the 1970's.

Vietnam War- The U.S had been in combat in Southeast Asia for over 12 years by the time It was 1973 and they wanted out. The U.S signed a treaty with Vietnam and agreed to pull the majority of their troops out, along with stopping the bombings in Cambodia. In 1975 the fall of Saigon officially ended the war for the U.S. Here is a clip from the news when it happened, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3SfcSageUk. Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page). "Fall of Saigon Vietnam War Ends April 30 1975".

Jimmy Carter- In 1976 after Nixon is pardoned Jimmy Carter is elected as 39th President. In his term he pardoned all U.S draft dodgers, signed a pact to slow down the use of nuclear weapons, boycott the Moscow Olympics, and sent troops into Afghanistan to try and stop the spread of communism.

Pop Culture- In 1970 the band of the 60's The Beatles break up, in 1971 the VCR was introduced, in 1976 Steve Jobs founded the Apple Computer, in 1977 Star Wars come out and becomes the highest grossing film at the time, and Elvis Pressley dies in 1977.
