Answer:

-Extraterritoriality rights for foreigners in China

-British control of the island of Hong Kong

-The forced opening of five Chinese ports to foreign trade

Explanation:

The Treaty of Nanjing was signed on August 29, 1842 in the waters of Nanjing aboard the British warship HMS Cornwallis. These negotiations (later called Unequal Treaties) were carried out after the defeat of China (under the Qing Dynasty) by the British Empire in the context of the so called "First Opium War" that began in 1839 and ended in 1842.

In this context, diverse policies were signed (mainly in favor of the British Empire), however the three remarkables ones were:

- British citizens on Chinese soil gained immunity from prosecution under Chinese law.

- The opening of four Chinese ports to foreign trade alongside Canton (Shameen Island) having a total of five ports where foreign merchants were to be allowed to trade: Amoy (Xiamen), Foochowfoo (Fuzhou), Ningpo (Ningbo) and Shanghai.

-The creation of the crown colony of Hong Kong after the Chinese Emperor ceded this island to the British Queen.

Which statement regarding tokugawa leyasu exemplifies absolutism

alexandr402 [8]

Ahy trained historians of Japan in the Western world was too small to sustain such an enterprise. Although that number has grown, the general editors have thought it best to draw on Japanese specialists for contributions in areas where they retain a clear authority. In such cases the act of translation itself involves a form of editorial cooperation that requires the skills of a trained historian whose name deserves acknowledgment.

John Kennedy sent foreign aid to Latin American nations during his administration. How would this combat

Yanka [14]

Answer:

It made foreign nations more likely to ally with the US

Explanation:

The foreign aid that was sent by the administration of John Kennedy to Latin America had the purpose of making the countries in this region allies of the United States. The principle at how the aid was expected to work was that the people and governments of these countries would be grateful to the United States and see them as a friend that tries to help them and develop them. While the idea was good for the United States, in practice it was not going as planned. Most of the Latin American countries had much more affinity toward the communism and socialism, which was something that the United States was actually fighting against, and unfortunately that led to numerous conflicts in this regions, most of which sponsored by the United States themselves.
