1919 -- The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea establishes the National Red Cross in Shanghai. Korea's Red Cross, originally established in 1905 by a decree of King Gojong, had been merged into the Red Cross of Japan by the Japanese colonial regime. Korea's government in exile revived the relief agency to manifest the country's independence, and held its first general meeting in November that year.


1974 -- A military court hands down death sentences to a group of students convicted of trying to overthrow the government during martial law.

Park took power through a military coup in 1961.
