Quotes by Gordon Kerr (?)

“1503 Scotland and England sign the Treaty of Everlasting Peace; it lasts ten years.”

“The Treaty of Tianjin and the Convention of Peking that ended the Second Opium War gave Kowloon – an area next to Hong Kong – to Britain, legalised the opium trade and granted Christians full civil rights. Importantly, foreign powers were given the right to carry Chinese workers to labour in their own lands and colonies. This launched the ‘coolie’ trade and Chinese workers were conveyed to work in plantations and mines in places such as Malaya, while in America they famously built the railroads.”
― Gordon Kerr, A Short History of China: From Ancient Dynasties to Economic Powerhouse
