Unequal Treaties
Unequal Treaties, a term mainly used in reference to China, refers to a type of treaty signed by several East Asian states, including the Qing Empire in China, late Tokugawa Japan, and late Joseon Korea, with foreign powers, during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This was a period during which these Asian states were largely unable to resist the military and economic pressures of the primary Western powers.
