The treaty of Nanking was signed in 1842 and ended the First opium war between China and Britain and its results included the destruction of the Chinese navy.
The Treaty of Nanjing, signed in 1842, marked a significant shift in China's cultural and societal landscape by imposing unequal terms that favored British interests. By requiring China to compensate for the opium destroyed during the First Opium War and ceding territory such as Hong Kong, it undermined China's sovereignty and introduced foreign influence. This led to increased Western presence and cultural exchange, which disrupted traditional Chinese norms and practices. Consequently, the treaty not only intensified internal strife and resentment towards foreign powers but also catalyzed modernization efforts within China in response to the perceived need to strengthen against foreign domination.
The Treaty of Paris (1763)
It was called the 'Treaty of Versailles' and the US, Britain and France signed that treaty.
Britain entered the war as a result of the German invasion of Belgium, as Britain had a defense treaty with Belgium (Britain wanted to enter the war and found a 100 year old treaty to use as pretext). Italy, who was allied with Germany before the war, did not enter on the German side as they had a defense pact, and joined with the Entente powers with promises of German and Austrian colonies and territory.
China was forced to give Britain greater trading privileges.
The terms of the Treaty of Nanjing were that the Chinese had to leave five trade ports open for Britain and they had to give Britain Hong Kong while they got nothing.
