In the Center of Beijing, China is Tiananmen Square, where many protests and student led demonstrations have occurred. But the greatest protest was during May-June of 1989. Almost a million Chinese students and young adults came together to protest for Democracy in China. They called for the Chinese Communist to resign and let democracy be the way of the Chinese government but the government wouldn't here of it. And on June 4 1989 Chinese police and troops went through the square killing and arresting an estimated thousands of  young Chinese people. In response the United States put sanctions on China. This was an important event  because if the student protesters had succeeded and enough people had listened to them then they could have turned the way the Chinese government operates around, and maybe they could have become a democratic nation.
