1. treaty of nanking (the first unequal treaty in China's modern history),1signed on August 29th, 842.

Treaty of nanking, also known as Jiangning Treaty and Ten Thousand Years Peace Treaty, is the first unequal treaty in modern history of China. The agreement was signed on August 29th 1842 (July 24th, Daoguang 22nd) by Jiao Ying, an imperial envoy of the Qing government, and Pu Dinghui, a British representative, aboard the British ship "Gao Huali" anchored on Xiaguan River in Nanjing, marking the end of the first opium war.

Treaty influence: The treaty of nanking destroyed China's territorial integrity and tariff sovereignty, facilitated Britain's export of goods to China, and made China a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

Extended data:

Unequal treaties refer to international treaties and agreements that damage national sovereignty and unfairly distribute rights and obligations among States parties. According to the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969): (1) A treaty concluded by a country by force or threat of force is absolutely null and void; (2) If the conclusion of a treaty conflicts with a peremptory rule of general international law, the treaty is invalid.

Unequal treaties often have strong rights and weak obligations, which essentially violate the principle of sovereign equality of countries and are widely condemned internationally. 1949 Many unequal treaties that China was forced to conclude with foreign countries were abolished by People's Republic of China (PRC) through diplomatic negotiations.

The concept of unequal treaties was first put forward by the Kuomintang of China in the AD1920s:

1.192365438+10/,Sun Yat-sen published the Declaration of the Kuomintang of China, which included "Concluding unequal treaties with other countries. So far, although the Qing court has replied, I am actually trapped in the status of a colonial power. "

2. 1924 65438+ 10, the first national congress of the Chinese Kuomintang held in Guangzhou formulated a platform and put forward the policy of "abolishing unequal treaties and repaying foreign debts" in foreign policy.

3. 1924 In August, China * * * published "The Fourth Proposition of the Current Situation" and put forward the proposition of "abolishing all unequal treaties".

4.1September, 924 18, the Declaration on the Northern Expedition of China Kuomintang was published, which included "demanding that all unequal treaties be revised".

Unequal treaties are relative to equal treaties. An equality treaty generally refers to a treaty with equal rights and obligations voluntarily agreed by all sovereign countries on the premise of equality and mutual benefit. Unequal treaties refer to treaties that are finally concluded, and the rights and obligations of all parties are unequal. The most common reason is that one party (or parties) uses force or threatens to use force to intimidate the other party (that is, imposes a treaty). However, some people think that the conclusion of unequal treaties does not necessarily involve force, as long as the content of the treaty is unequal to all parties. According to this expanded definition, unequal treaties can include the following situations:

1. The content of the treaty was originally equal to both parties; However, due to unforeseen changes, the obligations of both parties are not equal in actual implementation.

2. The content of the treaty is not equal to both parties; Regardless of the actual effect.

3. Use or threaten to use economic pressure or force to achieve the first situation.

4. Use or threaten to use economic pressure or force to achieve the second situation.

The content of the treaty is equal, but it was reached by economic pressure.

6. The content of the treaty is equal, but it was reached by force.
