The Tiananmen Square Protests were a series of student-led demonstrations in Beijing, China, in 1989. The protests were triggered by the death of Hu Yaobang, a popular reformist leader, and quickly escalated into a broader movement calling for democratic reforms and an end to corruption. The protests were eventually crushed by the Chinese government in a violent crackdown that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people.
