'Warrior': Top 5 Tong massacres which inspired some of the deadliest battles on the show

The Tongs fought against each other for power, but sometimes the killings were merely carried out for the sake of it.

Cinemax's upcoming Jonathan Tropper created series, 'Warrior', brings in the untold tale of the Tong Wars which had gripped America at the close of the 19th Century. Based on the writings of Bruce Lee, the 10-part series has depicted some of the goriest moments in the history of the Tong Wars which could have easily led to a nation-wide massacre in the early years of the 20th Century. While the show is set to premiere on April 5, it follows the Chinese immigrants who arrive in America in order to earn a fortune but soon find themselves tied down by the shackles of community, discrimination, and indecent criminalized living. 

Every episode on the show focuses on some of the most disastrous killings that took place during the Tong Wars, and in order to get a good grasp of just how and when these killings took place, let's take a look at the original incidents which inspired these episodes:
