The Opium War broke out on 1, 1840, 1842 on August 29th (July 24th, 22nd year of Daoguang). Jiao Ying, an imperial envoy of the Qing government, and Pu Cha, a British representative, signed the first unequal treaty "treaty of nanking" in China's history. China began to become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. ?
2, Jinan tragedy.
The Jinan Massacre is also known as the May 3rd Massacre. ? Led by Chiang Kai-shek? During the Second Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army, the Japanese were afraid that once China was unified, it would not allow its wanton aggression and tried its best to obstruct the Northern Expedition. In the name of protecting overseas Chinese, Japan sent troops to Jinan, Qingdao and Ji Jiao railways.
1928, the National Revolutionary Army recaptured Jinan on May 1 28. On May 3, the Japanese army invaded the Shandong Negotiation Department set up by the China Municipal Government, cut off the ears and nose of the negotiator Cai Gongshi, and then shot and killed all the staff of the negotiation department, and burned and slaughtered them. In this case, more than 7,000 people were killed, 2,000 injured and 5,000 captured in China.
After the tragedy, China denied that the Japanese army had massacred Japanese soldiers and civilians, demanded an apology, compensation and punishment from the Nanjing National Government, and captured Jinan on May 1 1. It was not until March of the following year that the Nanjing National Government signed the Sino-Japanese Economic Case Agreement with the Japanese Government that the Japanese army withdrew from Jinan. Every May 3rd 10, Jinan will sound an air defense alarm to commemorate the "Jinan Massacre" and remind the world not to forget the national humiliation.
3. In the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu (190 1), on July 25th, the Qing government of China and the governments of Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, Italy, Austria, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries signed the Treaty of Xin Chou after the Boxer Rebellion failed and Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing. Because the signing date of the treaty is September 7 in the solar calendar, there is a saying of "1997 national humiliation".
The Xin Chou Treaty is an unequal treaty with the largest amount of compensation and the most serious loss of sovereignty in China's modern history. This treaty marks that the Qing government has completely become a tool for imperialism to rule China, and China has completely become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, which has seriously violated China's sovereignty and brought profound disasters to the people. Its signing further strengthened the imperialists' comprehensive control and plunder of China, and marked that China had completely become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.
