South Korea democratized in the late 20th century primarily due to widespread public discontent with authoritarian regimes, economic challenges, and the influence of civil society movements. The pro-democracy protests, particularly the Gwangju Uprising in 1980 and the June Democratic Uprising in 1987, galvanized popular support for democratic reforms. Additionally, international pressures, particularly from the United States, played a role in encouraging the transition to democracy. This combination of internal and external factors ultimately led to the establishment of a democratic government in South Korea.
