In 1979 and 1980, in reaction to the Military Dictatorship of South Korea of initially Park Chung-Hee and then after Park’s assassination, Chun Doo-hwan there were a series of protests and uprisings in Busan, Masan and infamously in 1980, the Gwangju Uprising.
Whilst these uprisings were aggressively and bloodily crushed by the South Korean Government, it did seem there was a possibility of them, in a manner similar to the April Revolution or the later June Democracy Movement, of the military being forced to concede to democratic forces.
What if that had happened, what would happen Korean Democracy Movement had succeeded in 1979/80?
What ramifications does that have on Korean politics and Asian Politics as a whole etc.
