Participating Nations and Results.

Miss Universe 1975 the 24th Miss Universe pageant was held at the National Gymnasium, San Salvador, El Salvador on July 19, 1975. The live telecast was broadcast on CBS. Miss Universe 1972, Kerry Anne Wells of Australia crowned the new Miss Universe, Anne Marie Pohtamo of Finland.

The political backdrop to the 1975 Miss Universe pageant was not a happy one, however. According to the New York Times, August 5, "while a worldwide television audience saw El Salvador’s sunny beaches before the “Miss Universe” finals July 19, off-camera heavily armed troops were called out to halt demonstrations by students protesting the Government’s expenditure of $1-million on the contest." Protests took place in Santa Ana and San Salvador. Again, from the NY Times: "According to the military Government, which contended that the march was part of a “Communist plot,” one person was killed, five wounded, and 11 arrested. But according to the students, at least 12 persons were killed, 20 wounded, and 40 arrested."[1]
