In Unequal Treaties and China, author Wang Jianlang looks at how history has affected the nation and how those unequal treaties from foreign powers have shaped China's policies even up until the modern day. From the first Opium War (1839-1842) and until the birth of New China in 1949, China was forced to sign multiple unequal treaties by foreign imperialist and invading powers. In these treaties, China conceded many of its sovereign rights in terms of territory and commerce. Ever since the time of the first unequal treaty (the Treaty of Nanjing), the people of China have struggled to invalidate these unequal treaties. Unequal Treaties and China provides a comprehensive overview of China' s history of fighting against these unequal treaties. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 1644-1912|2fast 648 7 1912-1949|2fast 648 7 1644-1949|2fast 650 0 Unequal treaties|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85139655|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 7 International relations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/977053 650 7 Unequal treaties.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1161266 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 0 China|xForeign relations|y1644-1912|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85024027|xTreaties.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99002032 651 0 China|xForeign relations|y1912-1949|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85024028|xTreaties.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99002032 651 7 China.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1206073 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Treaties.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423868 700 1 Tong, Li,|etranslator,|eeditor. 700 1 Poon, Phoebe,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2015030493|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aWang, Jianlang.|tUnequal treaties and China|z9781623201180|w(OCoLC)928834154 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=993525|zOnline eBook.
