A crooked president Nixon wished to get the goods on his opposition party the Democrats and sent his agents too break into there offices called Watergate and they got caught

Watergate is a general term for a series of political scandals during the presidency of Richard Nixon, that began with five men being arrested after breaking and entering into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate hotel complex in Washington, D.C. on June 17, 1972. The scandal reached to the top levels of American government, and the attempted cover-up of the break-in ultimately led to Nixon's dramatic resignation on August 9, 1974.

thats pretty simple.

In June of 1972 in Washington, D.C. an event occurred, a burglary, which ended up holding worldwide importance. It was on this date that five people broke into the Democratic National Headquarters to bug their telephones. These men were members of the ‘Plumbers’, a group of anti-Castro Cuban refugees, former FBI agents and former CIA agents among others. The group was strongly Republican. The place they broke into was The Watergate Hotel.

Many people remember the name Watergate as a blanket term used to describe the fall of President Richard Nixon. But do you remember the specifics of those events? It has taken years filled with books and interviews to begin to understand what the scandal and its complications truly were. This article will attempt to be a ‘primer’, a starting point from which you may go and research further this event.

It cannot be described in a very simple form.
I suggest you hit the Internet for a "blurb."

I lived with it for YEARS.
We're still living with it.

American President seeks information on rivals. American President tells a lie. American President sees and hears the truth of his lie. American President lies some more. American people say "we want to know more about these lies Mr President". American President says "Ah, in that case I'm off". American people say "Goodbye".

Watergate - the abridged version.

Some guys from the Republican camp broke into the Democrat Party HQ.

Two cub-reporters at the Washington Post got on the case.

That's it really. Here's the rest : -
