"Independence Movement Day is a holiday celebrated in South Korea on March 1 every year. This day marks one of the earliest public displays of Korean resistance. It took place on March 1, 1919 . . . An estimated two million people attended peaceful demonstrations to protest Japan’s occupation of Korea. The demonstrations started in Korea’s capital city Seoul, and soon spread to other parts of the country. The Korean Declaration of Independence was read at a rally in Tapgol Park."
