The Times and Social and Historical Conditions of the May 4th Movement

The times and social and historical conditions of the May 4th Movement include the deepening of national crisis, ideological enlightenment, political change and political organization. The details are as follows:

1. Deepening national crisis: With the continuous development of Chinese national capitalism, the contradiction between China and imperialism has become increasingly acute. With the deepening of the national crisis, the national bourgeoisie in China began to seek national independence, democracy and freedom, which also provided conditions for the outbreak of the May 4th Movement.

2. Ideological enlightenment: Before the May 4th Movement, western culture flooded into China, which had a profound impact on China society. Intellectuals began to seek the essence of western culture and gradually realized the ideas of democracy, freedom, equality and science in western culture. These thoughts provided the ideological basis for the outbreak of the May 4th Movement.

3. Political change: Before the May 4th Movement, China's political system began to change, from feudal autocracy to democratic politics. This political change provided conditions for the outbreak of the May 4th Movement.

4. Form of political organization: During the May 4th Movement, the form of political organization in China changed from scattered individuals to political groups. This change in the form of political organization also provided conditions for the outbreak of the May 4th Movement.
