October 2 1968: The Massacre de Tlatelolco, México

The Massacre de Tlatelolco ‪@OnaDayLikeThis‬ On a day like this, October 2, 1969, a horrifying event known as the Tlatelolco Massacre occurred in Mexico City. The government troops opened fire on a peaceful student protest held at the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, leading to a bloodbath. The demonstration was part of a larger student movement demanding democratic reforms. The government, fearing a political uprising similar to the Cuban revolution, responded with force. The number of casualties remains disputed, ranging from the official count of 30 to estimates in the thousands. The massacre shocked the world and tarnished Mexico's international image just days before it hosted the 1968 Olympics. It marked a dark period in Mexico's history, symbolizing the government's intolerance towards political dissent. Even today, the Tlatelolco Massacre is a poignant reminder of the struggle for democracy and human rights. It continues to inspire activists around the world and remains a rallying cry for justice and accountability in Mexico. #history #foryou #OnADayLikeThis #TlatelolcoMassacre #October2 #History #MexicanHistory #StudentProtest #Democracy #HumanRights #HistoricalEvents #WorldHistory #LearnHistory #facts #curiosities #mexico #today #news #learn #students #fyp #instareel #reels #viral #justice #october Subscribe to us to learn more about what happened on a day like this... but in the past. 👉 ‪@OnaDayLikeThis‬ -----------------------------------Social Media------------------------------------------ https://bit.ly/onadaylikethis2   / onaday.likethis
