jul 31, 1927 - Red Flag Affair

Description:

Following a failure to pay veterans of the Great War, a large number of protesters marched on Washington to demand payments. The United States Government mistook this as a communism uprising and ordered the military to apprehend the protesters.

While very few died, this caused great political unrest in the United States.
