This is the year the Vietnam War ends and terrorists take over the West German embassy in Stockholm: "Lay out, lay out". On TV, Staffan Westerberg's "Wild in the Pancake" coexists with Ingmar Bergman's "The Magic Flute". Despite the Cold War, the USA and the Soviet Union take the opportunity to meet - in space! And in Båstad, Davis Cup tennis is being played. Sweden meets Chile and the police fear riots. This and much more in The Year Was 1975 by Jonas Fohlin and Eva Tillberg.
