On this day, 20 May 1960 mass demonstrations took place in Japan against the US-Japan (Anpo) treaty which would see US troops permanently based in the country. It was part of a huge, popular movement to prevent ratification of the deal, which severely disrupted Japanese society but ended in failure.
