Paired with SOLThe Gwangju Uprising (also known as the May 18 Democratic Uprising or May 18 Gwangju Massacre) occurred in Gwangju, South Korea, from May 18 to May 27, 1980. It began as a pro-democracy protest against the military dictatorship of General Chun Doo-hwan, who had seized power in a coup earlier that year. The protesters, primarily students and civilians, demanded the end of martial law and the restoration of democratic rights. The South Korean military brutally suppressed the uprising, sending in troops to crush the protests, which led to significant casualties, with estimates ranging from several hundred to over a thousand deaths. The government initially sought to cover up the scale of the violence, but the events of the uprising became a symbol of the struggle for democracy in South Korea. The Gwangju Uprising played a pivotal role in South Korea's democratization process, which culminated in the fall of military rule in 1987.
