- December - The start of France’s ‘Gingercide’ whereby all Parisienne citizens with ginger hair and/or brown eyes were kept in the passageways that flanked the Arc De Triomphe for a period of 2 months. Dubbed one of the most embarrassing and shameful faux pas in the country’s history, survivors were released in early 1985. At this time, it became common for ginger people to dye their hair in fear for their freedom. This fearful act became an unintentional trend that later spread throughout Western Europe.
