May 30th Movement in China

Years: 1925 - 1926

The May 30 Movement, a labor and antiimperalist movement during early History of the Republic of China, begins on May 30, 1925, when the Shanghai Municipal Police open fire on Chinese strikers in Shanghai's International Settlement.

The shootings spark nationwide anti-foreign demonstrations.

"History is always written wrong, and so always needs to be rewritten."
