Question

The May Fourth movement was a movement in which writers expressed pride in their African roots and protested colonial rule.

Answer 1

False. The May 4th movement was not about the African roots that prevented the colonial rule. It was about China’s anti-imperialist movement where students made numerous demonstrations in Beijing in 1919. The reason behind it was that China’s government allowed Japan to receive territories in Shandong. It was a weak move that sparked national protests because the Treaty of Versailles was not respected by the Chinese government.
