The Treaty of Nanking, signed in 1842, marked the end of the First Opium War between Britain and China. It ceded Hong Kong to Britain, opened five ports to British trade, and granted extraterritorial rights to British citizens in China. Additionally, China was required to pay a substantial indemnity and establish a fixed tariff on trade. This treaty significantly increased British influence in China and is often seen as a symbol of the "Century of Humiliation" for the Chinese.
