Korean Political History I: Chapter 8, Exercise 3 — Possible Solution
======================================================================

THREE SENTENCES
In 1960 mass protests, and the refusal of soldiers and police to attack
them, were followed by Rhee's resignation. In 1980 the Gwangju Uprising was
retaken by the military and the death toll is disputed. In 1987 protests of
an estimated 4 to 5 million people were followed by the regime's June 29
Declaration accepting direct elections.

ONE THING NOT EXPLAINED
Why the 1987 regime conceded when the 1980 one did not. The sources do not
say what the government or army leadership decided.
