1982 Makohiro protests and massacre

The Makohiro protests were student-led demonstrations held in Makohiro, the capital of the Northern Vlokozuian State of El Kadsre during 1982. It was the biggest threat of Vlokozuian control and the nationwide revolution movement inspired by the Makohiro protests is sometimes called the Taroist Movement of 1982. The protests started in April 23 and was suppressed in July 24 when the Vlokist government declared the martial law and sent the military to occupy some of the streets in the city, in what has become known as the Makohiro massacre, when troops with assault rifles and tanks fired at the demonstrators and those who were trying to block the military's advance into Makohiro. Official Vlokozuian death toll estimate was around several hundred to couple thousand with thousands more wounded.

The massacre is considered to be a turning point of the Vlokozu Union, as it caused the economic recession that would last for the rest of the year.
