Iranian Hostage Crisis and Its Impact

The video covers two major events in Jimmy Carter's foreign policy: the Camp David Accords and the Iranian Hostage Crisis. The Camp David Accords were a significant diplomatic achievement, leading to a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. The Iranian Hostage Crisis, however, was a challenging period for Carter, involving the capture of US diplomats in Tehran and a failed rescue mission. The crisis ended with the hostages' release after 444 days, coinciding with Ronald Reagan's inauguration.
