May Thirtieth Movement 五卅运动

The May Thirtieth Movement (simplified Chinese:五卅运动; traditional Chinese:五卅運動; pinyin:Wǔsà Yùndòng) was a major labor and anti-imperialist movement during the middle-period of the ***************** era. It began when Shanghai Municipal Police officers opened fire on Chinese protesters in Shanghai's International Settlement on May 30, 1925. The shootings sparked international censure and nationwide anti-foreign demonstrations and riots.
