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.
These notorious demands were issued at a time of shifting balance of power in East Asia. With the Qing dynasty’s humiliating defeat in the first Sino-Japanese War (1894-95), regional dominance for the first time had moved from China to Japan. Japan’s ambitions in China were further emboldened by its decisive victory in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05), which affirmed the Japanese presence in south Manchuria and Korea. The 1911 Revolution brought an end to the Qing dynasty and ushered in the Republican era in China, but China remained a pushover in the face of pressure from Western Powers. Furthermore, Yuan’s ruling status itself was shaky due to threats from competing local warlords. World War I granted Japan a perfect opportunity to push the envelope even more with China. As the war was underway in Europe, the Japanese hoped that other major powers would show little interest in countering Japanese expansion in China. For these reasons, Japanese Foreign Minister Kato was convinced that the filing of an ultimatum buttressed by the war threat would cause China to accept all the demands. so basically to control most of asia
Answer:
While the Axis powers committed far worse war crimes that were more numerous than the allies, the allies including the U.K., France, United States, and Soviet Union were no stranger to these acts as well.
Explanation:
While the Axis have the Holocaust, and human experimentation by both Japan and Nazi Germany, the allies had several war crimes committed as well.
Some of these include the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan, firebombing of Dresden, and the Soviet treatment of German civilians and POWs throughout the war.
The only action that can really be justified in any way was the atomic bombs. It made Japan capitulate quickly rather than drawing out the conflict which some historians argue would have caused millions of more military and civilian casualties. It was an extremely violent, and brutal war. As are most.
