February 28 Democracy Movement

The February 28 Democracy Movement broke out February 28, 1960, ahead of the March 1960 South Korean presidential election during the period of Syngman Rhee's government, in resistance against his Liberal Party's dictatorship. After this movement, the 3.15 Masan democracy movement broke out, and the Daegu Democracy Movement became the main cause of the April Revolution.
