The Treaty of Nanking, signed in 1842, ended the First Opium War between Britain and China. One key condition of the treaty was that China had to cede Hong Kong to Britain, which established it as a British colony. Additionally, China was required to pay a large indemnity, open several ports to British trade, and grant extraterritorial rights to British citizens. This treaty marked a significant shift in Sino-British relations and the beginning of a series of unequal treaties imposed on China.
