1979

1979 is a normal year starting on Monday .

It was the last year of the 1970s . In October 1979, the rare Stepping Stone holiday came. Armed Forces Day on October 1 (Monday) (a public holiday at the time), National Foundation Day on October 3 (Wednesday), Chuseok on Friday, October 5, and Hangul Day on October 7 (Sunday) and October 9 (Tuesday).

In Korea, the first half of this year was very hot due to the second oil crisis, the Yulsan incident, the YH incident, and the Buma Uprising. On October 26th, the day after the unprecedented murder of a South Korean head of state, on October 27th Martial law was declared throughout the country except Jeju Island , and on November 3 , he became the first Korean president to receive a state funeral. Thus, the Yushin regime and the emergency measures came to an end.[1] The politics of the Republic of Korea entered a state of power vacuum under the Muju Communist Party, the ruling Democratic Republican Party lost its focus and fell into confusion, and democratic forces also lost their way. In that situation, the December 12 military rebellion broke out and the new military government prepared to take power.

Despite the above-mentioned chaos, in the economic field, the Korea Stock Exchange left its beloved Myeong-dong and moved to Yeouido-dong , laying the foundation for the opening of the 'Yeouido Securities District' era, and Lotte opened Lotte Hotel Seoul, the first Lotteria branch, and the first Lotte Shopping Center. Each achieved a framework for rapid growth. In the film industry, it was a time when the second generation Troika actresses Yoo Ji-in and Jeong Yoon- hee were at their peak. They each released several successful films in one year, including The Man I Abandoned and Do You Know Kkotsuni ?

Conservatism spread rapidly around the world as a reaction to the radical social change and chaos of the 1960s and 1970s . In Britain, Margaret Thatcher was inaugurated as Prime Minister, and in the United States, Ronald Reagan caused a sensation in the Republican primary, laying the foundation for victory in the presidential election the following year. In China, Deng Xiaoping , who rejected the extreme policies of Mao Zedong and the Gang of Four , overpowered the extreme left wing of the party and took power. John Paul II visited Poland, a communist country at the time, criticized the communist regime and foreshadowed the upcoming democratization movement. But the biggest change occurred in the Islamic world. The Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan caused great shock as it was seen as an invasion by 'atheists'. The Iranian Revolution and the Siege of the Grand Mosque in Mecca were a blatant backlash against Western politics, economics, and culture. Arab nationalism, which had already lost its cause and was weakened, rapidly declined and gave way to Islamism, and not only Iran, where the revolution occurred, but also countries such as Saudi Arabia and Pakistan stopped westernizing and became rapidly conservative. Western countries, including the United States, supported Islamists in the name of anti-communism, but paid the price later . At this time, the Soviet Union began suppressing Muslim-majority regions such as Central Asia and Chechnya in the Caucasus. Secularization was also carried out to prevent Islamic fundamentalism.

Many dictators representing the 1970s were dismissed. Only 12 dictators withdrawn this year . Paul Port , Idiamine , Francisco Masiaz Nigima , one of the worst dictators in human history, and Jean Bethel Boccasa , a slightly better dictator than the three , and the better Battazar Porster and Anastasio Consumption Devail . In Iran , the Iranian revolution broke down the Palabi dynasty, and Mohammad Reza Palabi withdrew. # However, in this year, Saddam Hussein and Ayatola Luhola Homeini , one of the representatives of the 1980s, took office, and in the Republic of Korea, Chun Doo -hwan 's 12.12 military rebellion occurred and established the foundation of the new military system.

The United Nations designated this year as the 'International Year of the Child'.[3]

In mid-November, strong unusually cold temperatures occurred sporadically in mid-November, dropping the minimum temperature in Seoul to -11.1 degrees, but December was warm, so the extreme values ​​in November were lower than the extreme values ​​in December. February is the last year of the 20th century when Choi Han-wol falls in Seoul.[5] In addition, this is the first year since meteorological observations that the average monthly temperature in Seoul did not fall below zero.[6]
