Overview

This is the year that the Social Democrats lose power and the center leader Torbjörn Fälldin steps in as the new prime minister. On Slottsbacken, Silvia Sommerlath waves to the people - as the new queen of Sweden. In Argentina, a coup d'état shakes the country when Isabel Perón is deposed and the military takes over. In Örnsköldsvik, sports history is written - the very first Paralympic Winter Games are held. And a new sound is heard on the streets and squares: the rolling wheels of the skateboard make their entrance in Sweden.
