Définition

  • Between May 18 and 27, 1980, nearly a quarter of a million people participated in the largest political uprising in the history of the Korean peninsula. Although brutally repressed and initially unsuccessful in bringing about democratic reform in South Korea, the Kwangju Uprising, once called, “Korea's Tiananmen,” is considered the pivotal moment in the South Korean struggle for democracy.
