During the Winnipeg General Strike in 1919, which event occurred?

• A. 10 men were killed
• B. No violence occurred
• C. The strike lasted only one day
• D. Two men were killed

Answer: (D)

During the Winnipeg General Strike, violence did occur and two people were killed in a key moment of the protest. On June 21, 1919, police opened fire on a crowd in Market Square, an incident often called Bloody Saturday. This tragedy highlighted how tense the confrontation between workers seeking better conditions and the authorities could become, and it showed that the strike extended far beyond a single day, lasting several weeks with substantial disruption and a strong clash of power.

That’s why the statement about two men being killed best fits what happened: the strike was not a one-day event, and there was indeed violence and fatalities. The other options don’t align with the historical record.
