On August 16, 1819, about 60,000 people gathered in St. Peter's Square in Manchester to support the parliamentary reform movement, and the British government used force to suppress them. 11 people were killed and at least 400 were injured, but the Tory government enacted the Six Acts as a more thorough means of suppression. It became known as the Peterloo Massacre, in ironic comparison with the victory at Waterloo four years earlier.

1819年8月 16日,マンチェスターの聖ピーター広場に議会改革運動を支援する約6万人の人々が参集したとき,イギリス政府がこれを武力弾圧した事件。 11人の死者と少くとも 400人の負傷者を出したが,トーリー党政府はさらに徹底した弾圧手段として,六法を制定した。4年前のワーテルロー (英語読みウォータールー) の勝利との皮肉な類比から,ピータールーの虐殺と呼ばれた。
