Question

Why did the student protest at Tiananmen Square of 1989 fail

Answer 1

The student protest at Tiananmen Square of 1989 failed because the government was in chaos.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The death of Hu Yaobang enraged a lot of people, especially the students, leading to a lot of protests. During the initial stages of the protest, the government of China was reluctant to take any action against the rising protests, because the government was in chaos.

Some officials of the government wanted to respond with violence, whereas some voted to respond in a non violent manner. It lead to a lot of confusions, but finally the Hardliners won the debate and responded by imposing martial law on the protesting people in Beijing.
