What is watergate, deepthroat and nixon scandal?

Question

I just want to know what was the "watergate" scandal and what does it mean? What is so important that president Nixon resigned? And what is a "deepthroat" ? It is often used in the media and elsewhere. Can you tell me what exactly is all of this confusing terms. Thanks.

Answer 1

Watergate was the name of the hotel of the democrat headquarters. In 71, some republicans broke into it to find some 'mud' to use for the upcoming 72 elections and got caught. Nixon eventually resigned to prevent the country being dragged through an impeachment trial.
"Deepthroat" was the code name for a democrat informant that leaked information to the New York Times. He died about 2 years ago, and I don't recall his name.

Answer 2

Watergate:
(1972-74) In 1972 five burglars were arrested for breaking into the Watergate office building where the Democrat Party was organising its election campaign. The burglars and two others were subsequently convicted of burglary, conspiracy and wire-tapping. The district court judge believed that not all relevant details had been presented during the trial and offered leniency in exchange for further information.

Deepthroat:
Deep Throat is the pseudonym that was given to a secret source who leaked information about the involvement of U.S. President Richard Nixon's administration in the events that came to be known as the Watergate scandal. Deep Throat was an important source for Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who together wrote a series of articles on the scandal that played a decisive role in exposing the misdeeds of the Nixon administration.

Yeah watergate caused president nixon to resign.
