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

a. True

b. False

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.
