On this day, 14 October 1973, a mass uprising involving student demonstrations and workers’ strikes took place in Thailand, overthrowing the military dictatorship and demanding more democratic freedoms. Occurring on the crest of a rising wave of wildcat strikes, the overthrowing of the dictatorship increased the confidence of workers, peasants and students who continued in the years that followed to fight for more than just parliamentary democracy.
