• Iraq Nationalizes Iraq Petroleum Company The Iraqi government nationalizes the Iraq Petroleum Company (IPC), taking control of the oil concession previously owned by major international oil companies including British Petroleum, Royal Dutch-Shell, Compagnie Francaise des Petroles, Mobil, and Standard Oil of New Jersey. This significant economic move represents a major shift in the country's control over its natural resources and challenges the dominance of Western oil corporations.

Baader's arrest was a significant moment in the German government's efforts to combat radical left-wing terrorism.
• Bophuthatswana Established in South Africa Tswanaland is officially renamed Bophuthatswana, a nominally independent homeland within the apartheid system of South Africa. This administrative change was part of the South African government's policy of creating separate territories for different ethnic groups, a key mechanism of racial segregation during the apartheid era.
