What event occurred in Tiananmen Square in 1989? A Communist group led its followers to the square and took Mao Zedong hostage. Pro-democracy protesters were killed by government troops. Mao Zedong held a parade honoring the intellectuals. War began with the Soviet Union.
im having a very tough tim figuring out what this is
Unfortunately, it's when pro-democracy demonstrators were killed by government troops. The rest of the world calls it the Tiananmen Massacre, but inside China, it's never referenced in the same way. If you do a Google search for "tank man", you'll see a pic of one Chinese demonstrator blocking a row of tanks during the protest.
thank you so much
Glad to help! :)
