Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Treaty of
Nanking (also spelt Nanjing in pinyin) was a treaty signed on 29 August
1842 to mark the end of the First Opium War (1839-42) between the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Qing Dynasty of China. It
was the first of what the Chinese called the unequal treaties because
Britain had no obligations in return.In the wake of China's military
defeat, with British warships poised to attack the city, representatives
from the British and Qing Empires negotiated aboard HMS Cornwallis
anchored at Nanking. On 29 August 1842, British representative Sir Henry
Pottinger and Qing representatives, Qiying, Elepoo, and Niujian, signed
the treaty. It consisted of thirteen articles and was ratified by Queen
Victoria and the Daoguang Emperor nine months later.
