Thousands of workers in Istanbul entered İstiklal Street, which means "Independence Street" in Turkish, at the start of the May Days Labor Revolt (19 May 1978). They were protesting against the military rule of the government that had seized power via a coup on 12 September the previous year. General Kenan Evren led the coup, which had "Restored the memory of Atatürk" and caused the death of 460 people. That day, socialist groups, including the Confederation of Revolutionary Trade Unions of Turkey (DISK) and the Confederation of Labor Unions of Turkey (Türk-İş), declared a general strike in Istanbul and Ankara. Workers marched to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, the place where the coup was launched by Captain Nejdet Savur and Colonel Sabri Yirmibeşoğlu. Citizens marched to support the workers' protest. The police used systematic violence to resist the march. Sabri Yirmibeşoğlu committed suicide in order not to be captured.

In that day, more than 4000 people were recorded injured and more than 60 people died. One of them was Mahir Çayan, a leader of Dev-Sol, who was killed in the back by an unknown person. There were nine women lost their lives when security forces opened fire on the social houses they were in.

On 31 March 2003, a bomb exploded in a kebap (meat) restaurant in İstiklal Street as it was filled with Thursday night revelers. The attack took place at the heart of İstiklal Street, which is Istanbul's main pedestrian thoroughfare and a center of cultural and social life. Burhan G. was the head of the gang which was later found guilty for the attack. A total of 32 persons, including seven children, were killed. 161 people were injured; most of whom were foreigners. Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom had many citizens injured in the attack. Germans were among the victims of the bombing. Some commentators claimed the bombing was caused by neo-fascists of the Grey Wolves. In May 2008, after years of proceedings, 13 suspects were sentenced to life in prison.

Many of those killed in the attack on 21 May 2003 were youth that owned the “Show” Youth Theater. After the attack, the government granted financial aid to the “Show” Youth Theater Compound although there was objection from some members of the Turkish Parliament.

The Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, which is connected to İstiklal Street, experienced a fire on 11 March 1994. This was the fourth fire that threatened the Aticar building. It was rumored that the fire was intentionally set. Many shops that were reopening, following the 1991 fire, had their goods stolen following the fire. This violation was deemed to be related to the closure of Beyoğlu's historic Pera Monastery. Closed by the government of the pro-Islamic prime minister Süleyman Demirel, it was turned into a museum. Further fires took place in 1999 and 2006. The spark that set fire to the material inside the church was allegedly caused by a worker who was cleaning the church's roof.
