Tiananmen Square Massacre (apr 15, 1989 – jun 4, 1989)

Month long series of protests by Chinese citizens in Tienanmen Square ends in bloodshed, as the Chinese government at the time violently massacred the protesters in order to "quell the unrest caused by the incident". This "incident" angered Americans but at the same time it casted doubt on the probability of the Republic of China's government changing it's ways.Image Source: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/jun/09/tiananmen-square-silences-massacre-censored-words
