What happened to the March 18th tragedy in China?

1March, 926 18, presided over by Li Dazhao, Beijing people gathered in Tiananmen Square to protest, demanding to reject the ultimatum of the Eight Powers and opposing unreasonable demands such as dismantling Dagukou national defense facilities.

The reason is 1926, 12. In March, when Feng Yuxiang's national army was fighting the Bong warlords, Japanese warships covered the Bong warships and sailed into Dagukou, Tianjin, shelling the national army, killing and injuring more than ten defenders.

Since then, eight countries, including Japan, Britain and the United States, issued an ultimatum to the Duan government on March 1926, putting forward unreasonable demands for dismantling Dagukou national defense facilities.

During the procession, Duan's executors were worried that the situation was out of control, so they ordered the pre-ambush military police to forcibly disperse the procession, resulting in the tragedy of 47 people dying on the spot and more than 200 injured.
