The Treaty of Wanghia was signed in 1844 between the United States and China, primarily to establish formal trade relations and protect American interests in China. It was significant as it granted the U.S. some of the same privileges enjoyed by other Western powers, including extraterritorial rights for American citizens and the right to trade in designated ports. The treaty also marked the beginning of a more formalized relationship between the two nations, reflecting the U.S.'s growing interest in Asian markets during the 19th century.
