The extraterritoriality negotiations of 1943 and the New Territories
Article Abstract:
The 1943 treaty between the United Kingdom and China, relinquishing all British extraterritorial rights, has received insufficient attention from historians. Anglo-Chinese relations were not completely favorable despite the treaty because the British failed to give up Hong Kong and also retained Kowloon as part of the Crown Colony. Some Chinese felt the British had given up enough for normalized relations while others promoted retaking Kowloon using force. However, the treaty did have a strong impact on other western countries who also returned territory and sovereignty to China.

The history of chromolithographs, focusing on the dining-room 'fruit and flowers' still-life, and the extent to which they contributed to the dawn of an urban American middle-class is discussed.
