In what year did the Tiananmen Square demonstrations take place?

• A. 1990
• B. 1989
• C. 1987
• D. 1992

Answer: (B)

This question tests your knowledge of when the Tiananmen Square demonstrations happened. The events occurred in 1989, when student-led protests in Beijing calling for political reform grew through spring and were met with a military crackdown in early June. That year is the one most closely associated with the Tiananmen Square demonstrations. The other years don’t fit: 1987 involves different protests, and 1990 and 1992 come after the crackdown, not the demonstrations themselves.
