What reading level is Library of Universal History And Popular Science volume 14 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Capture of Canton.
Capture of the Peiho Forts.
China's Treaties with the Western Nations.
China's Evasion.
British Fleet Repulsed.
Action of the Foreign Envoys.
Capture of Tien-tsin and Pekin.
brought to a crisis in October, 1856, by the seizure of the Arrow, a British vessel built in China, by the Chinese officials. This act led to a desultory war of several years between China and Great Britain, in which the Chinese generally were successful. France, having suffered the same wrongs at the han...ds of the Chinese, made common cause with Great Britain. These two European powers determined to compel China to a settlement, sending a combined expedition against China in 1857. The Anglo-French fleet bombarded Canton, December 28, 1857; and the next day the British and French land forces, numbering six thousand men, entered the city. The Chinese viceroy, Yeh, was taken prisoner ; but the Chinese government sought to offset this reverse by degrading Yeh and appointing his successor.
Russia and the United States now united with Great Britain and France in seeking to compel China to negotiate more liberal treaties with the Western powers.
