When did the May Fourth Movement take place?

The May Fourth Movement took place on May 4, 1919.

The failure of the Chinese government's diplomacy at the Paris Peace Conference directly triggered strong discontent among the Chinese people, which led to the May Fourth Movement, and under such strong pressure, the Chinese delegates eventually did not attend the signing ceremony of the Paris Peace Conference.

The May 4th Movement, which took place in Beijing on May 4, 1919, was a patriotic movement of the Chinese people against imperialism and feudalism, also known as the "May 4th Movement", with the participation of young students, the general public, citizens, industrialists and businessmen. It is also known as the "May Fourth Movement".

A modern history of China is a magnificent picture scroll of the Chinese nation's continuous struggle for national independence and people's liberation. In this 109-year process, the May Fourth Movement, which took place in 1919, was a great turning point in history. It opened up a whole new path for China's advancement and kicked off China's new democratic revolution.

People may ask: the Youth Magazine (later renamed New Youth), which had a great impact before and after the May Fourth Movement, was founded in 1915, and the Chinese ****productivity party, which led China's new democratic revolution to victory, was born in 1921, so why do you say that the May Fourth Movement was a great turning point in history?

In fact, one only needs to compare before and after the May Fourth Movement to see that the situation has fundamentally changed.

Patriotic salvation: the starting point of the May Fourth Movement.

The May Fourth Movement never happened out of nowhere, nor could it be mobilized by the subjective will and determination of a few advanced elements alone. It was a product of the general trend of history, a continuation and development of the patriotic and salvation fury of the Chinese nation under new historical conditions.

In the final analysis, the people's full-blooded grief and indignation aroused by the suffering situation of the motherland at that time, and their strong pursuit of creating a reasonable new society, were the intrinsic motivation that made the May Fourth Movement possible.
