During the time prior to the infamous June 4 Massacre in Tiananmen Square China, there were numerous events in which provoked political tension and ultimately stimulated the massacre itself. These events date back to Hu Yaobang’s death followed by the AFS’ seven requests, Deng Xiaoping’s editorial, the student hunger strike, Mikhail Gorbachev’s visit to China and the imposed martial law causing the tragic massacre.

Jim Jones and the people of Peoples temple did not set out to be one of america's worst massacres, they just want equality and

the Colonies led to the Boston Massacre. A popular myth about the Boston Massacre was it was one sided, soldiers overpowered helpless colonists.

The Boston Massacre is considered by many historians to be the first battle of the Revolutionary War. The fatal incident happened on March 5 of 1770. The massacre resulted in the death of five colonists.
