On 7 November 1975 the people and soldiers of Bangladesh formed an uprising against the coup organized by Major General Khaled Mosharraf and ended his plans to take control over the country. The event contributed in return to having Major General Ziaur Rahman become the seventh President of Bangladesh. November 7, known as the National Revolution and Solidarity Day, is a day observed by the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) that was founded by Ziaur Rahman during his years in office.

Western Sahara Desert
On 6 November 1975 some 350,000 Moroccans gathered in the city of Tarfaya in southern Morocco to force the Spanish government to hand over the disputed territory of Western Sahara, a region that had been under Spanish control since the late 19th century. This mass demonstration, aka the Green March as a reference of Islam, prompted Spain to sign an agreement relinquishing its claim over to a joint administration.
