The May 4th Movement

On this episode of Dave Does History, we travel back to May 4th, 1919—when thousands of Chinese students flooded Tiananmen Square, outraged by the betrayal of the Treaty of Versailles. What began as a protest against foreign domination and political weakness became the spark that lit modern China’s fire. From cultural upheaval to the birth of new political movements, this was no ordinary student rally. It was a national awakening. Join us as we uncover how a group of passionate youth helped reshape a civilization. Available now on the iHeart Radio App, Spotify, and iTunes—this is Dave Does History.
