The Second Opium War was1June 856 to1June 860. Britain and France jointly launched a war of aggression against China with the support of the United States and Russia. Its purpose is to further open the China market and expand its aggressive interests in China. Because Britain and France launched wars under the pretext of Arrow incident and Father Ma incident respectively, they were called "Arrow War" by the British.

Also known as "British and French Expedition to China" or "Second Sino-British War". At the same time, because this war can be regarded as the continuation of the first opium war (that is, the opium war, as opposed to the second), it is also called the "second opium war".

1860, British and French troops invaded Beijing, and the Qing emperor fled to Chengde. The British and French allied forces invaded Yuanmingyuan, looted the jewels and set them on fire. After Russia sent troops to participate in the war, it claimed that "mediation was successful" and coerced the Qing government to cede more than 6.5438+0.5 million square kilometers of territory, becoming the biggest winner. The war ended with the Qing government being forced to sign the Beijing Treaty.

The Second Opium War forced the Qing government to successively sign the Tianjin Treaty, the Beijing Treaty, the Sino-Russian Aihui Treaty and other peace treaties, and the invasion of foreign powers deepened. As a result, China lost 1.5 million square kilometers in the northeast and northwest. After the war, the Qing government was able to concentrate on suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and maintaining its rule.

Foreign aggression spread to coastal provinces and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The degree of semi-colonization of China society has further deepened.
