The Tiananmen Square Massacre was a horrific event that occurred in May 1989. It took place because some people wanted more political freedom and economic reform. Thousands of people gathered around in Tiananmen Square, raising banners and protesting. When they refused to leave, the government had troops sent out to get rid of everyone. Some were arrested, some were beaten and some were even killed during this event. The government wanted to prove that they contained all power and could maintain any situation.
