1980, the newly elected government of Demirel was overthrown. Five days later, Chief of Staff General Kenan Evren declared that the military was responding to domestic political anarchy. He reinforced this message by laying out the new regime&#8217;s program, which included civil order, national unity, and a secular state based on social justice and human rights. Planned months in advance, the coup was welcomed by most Turks as an answer to the preceding years of economic and political stagnation.\u201d \u2013 The 1980 Coup d\u2019Etat \u2013 Military Interventions in Turkey \u2013 allaboutturkey.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.historycommons.org\/context.jsp?item=western_support_for_islamic_militancy_2814\" >Context of &#8216;September 1980: Pro-American Military Coup Takes Place in Turkey&#8217; \u2013 historycommons.org<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/countrystudies.us\/turkey\/78.htm\" >Political Development Since the 1980 Coup \u2013 Turkey \u2013 countriestudies.us<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wsws.org\/en\/articles\/2000\/09\/turk-s27.html\" >\u201cTwenty years ago, on September 12, 1980, a right-wing military junta led by General Kenan Evran took state power in a predawn coup in Turkey, established martial law, abolished political parties and trade unions and abolished democratic rights.

But for the 5,720,000 US troops who served, of which 36,995 died and another 103,235 were wounded it was every bit a war<\/em>.\u201d \u2013 HistoryCentral.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/topics\/news\/history\/korean-war.htm\" >Korean War News \u2013 ABC.go.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Korean War Timelines:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sparknotes.com\/history\/american\/koreanwar\/timeline.html\" >THE KOREAN WAR (1950-1953) \u2013 Timeline \u2013 SparkNotes.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.koreanwar60.com\/timeline-korean-war-events\" >Timeline of the Korean War Events \u2013 KoreanWar60.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.shmoop.com\/korean-war\/timeline.html\" >THE KOREAN WAR TIMELINE \u2013 Shmoop.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.softschools.com\/timelines\/korean_war_timeline\/36\/\" >Korean War \u2013Timeline Description \u2013 SoftSchool.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.historyguy.com\/korean_war_timeline.htm\" >Korean War \u2013 Timeline \u2013 The History Guy \u2013 HistoryGuy.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/totallyhistory.com\/us-history\/korean-war\/\" >Korean War \u2013 Pre-Korean War Timeline and the Korean War Timeline \u2013 TotallyHistory.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.koreanwaronline.com\/arms\/TimeLine.htm\" >KOREAN WAR TIMELINE \u2013 KoreanWarOnline.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>1948\u00a0 <\/strong>The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/F-86_Sabre\" >F-86 Sabre<\/a> sets the world aircraft speed record at 671 miles per hour (1,080\u00a0km\/h).<\/p>\n<p><strong>1947\u00a0 <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/RCA\" >RCA<\/a> releases the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/12AX7\" >12AX7<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vacuum_tube\" >vacuum tube<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1945\u00a0 <\/strong>A hurricane in southern <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Florida\" >Florida<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Bahamas\" >the Bahamas<\/a> destroys 366 planes and 25 blimps at NAS Richmond.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1944\u00a0 <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Battle_of_Peleliu\" >Battle of Peleliu<\/a> begins as the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States_Marine_Corps\" >United States Marine Corps<\/a>\u2018 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1st_Marine_Division_%28United_States%29\" >1st Marine Division<\/a> and the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States_Army\" >United States Army<\/a>\u2018s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/81st_Infantry_Division_%28United_States%29\" >81st Infantry Division<\/a> hit White and Orange beaches under heavy fire from Japanese infantry and artillery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1944\u00a0 <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Franklin_D._Roosevelt\" >Franklin D.
