On May 15, 1989, the Chinese government began a crackdown on pro-democracy protests that had been gaining momentum in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Thousands of students and citizens were demanding political reform, freedom of speech, and other democratic rights. The protests eventually culminated in the infamous Tiananmen Square Massacre, which occurred in early June, resulting in a violent military response and significant loss of life. May 15 marked a turning point in the escalating tensions between the protesters and the authorities.
