The March 1st Movement or Samil Movement was one of the earliest public displays of Korean resistance during the occupation of the Korean Empire by Japan. The name refers to an event that occurred on March 1 1919 hence the movement’s name literally meaning Three-One Movement or March First Movement in Korean. It is also sometimes referred to as the Manse Demonstrations (Hangul: 만세운동; hanja: 萬歲運動; RR: Manse Undong).
