📅 4 Mei 1919 📍 China

Students in Beijing protested the Paris settlement's transfer of Germany's former Shandong privileges to Japan rather than returning them to China. The demonstrations broadened into strikes, boycotts, and a cultural and political movement involving workers, merchants, and intellectuals. Participants opposed imperial coercion abroad and political collaboration at home, linking national sovereignty to wider demands for social change.
