 CHRONOLOGY - QING DYNASTY 1644-1912
The Treaty of Nerchinsk (1689) with the Russians, drafted to bring to an end a series of border incidents and to establish a border between Siberia and Manchuria (northeast China) along the Heilong Jiang (Amur River), was China's first bilateral agreement with a European power.
In 1727 the Treaty of Kiakhta delimited the remainder of the eastern portion of the Sino-Russian border.
The Treaty of Nanjing set the scope and character of an unequal relationship for the ensuing century of what the Chinese would call "national humiliations." The treaty was followed by other incursions, wars, and treaties that granted new concessions and added new privileges for the foreigners.

 Richard S. Horowitz | International Law and State Transformation in China, Siam, and the Ottoman Empire during the ...
These treaties were unequal in several senses: they were forced at gunpoint; they expressed the economic and political interests of Britain and other powers; and key provisions, including extraterritoriality and restrictions on tariffs on foreign trade, were not reciprocal.
While much more research is needed, it seems that a key to the endurance of the treaty system as a structure for semicolonial systems was that it provided a framework that various powers were able to live with, even if it did not fulfill all of their desires.
Treaty systems were an obvious manifestation of European power over indigenous Eurasian states, but international law also played an important role in a more subtle and enduring phenomenon: the emergence of the territorially defined sovereign state as the key participant in international society.

 Nerchinsk, Russia - LoveToKnow 1911
The fort of Nerchinsk dates from 1654, and the town was founded in 1658 by Pashkov, who in that year opened direct communication between the Russian settlements in Transbaikalia and those on the Amur which had been founded by Cossacks and fur-traders coming from the Yakutsk region.
In 1689 was signed between Russia and China the treaty of Nerchinsk, which stopped for two centuries the farther advance of the Russians into the basin of the Amur.
The opening of the western route through Mongolia, by Urga, and the establishment of a custom-house at Kiakhta in 1728 diverted this trade into a new channel.

 Khyber Pass - LoveToKnow 1911
It was at Ali Masjid that Sir Neville Chamberlain's friendly mission to the amir Shere Ali was stopped in 1878, thus causing the second Afghan War; and on the outbreak of that war Ali Masjid was captured by Sir Samuel Browne.
The treaty which closed the war in May 1879 left the Khyber tribes under British control.
From that time the pass was protected by jezailchis drawn from the Afridi tribe, who were paid a subsidy by the British government.

Crimes committed by the natives against the nationals of a Treaty Power should be tried and punished by the native authorities according to their own laws, and crimes committed by the nationals of a Treaty Power against the natives, by the consular representatives of the defendant's nationality according to the latter's laws and customs [55].
The procedure laid down by the treaties was briefly as follows: In all civil cases between natives and foreigners, the consul was charged with the duty of hearing the complaint on either side and of settling it amicably without causing litigation.

 Treaty of Kyakhta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Kyakhta (sometimes Kiakhta) (Russian: Кяхтинский договор; Chinese: 恰克圖條約; pinyin: Qiàkètú tiáoyuē) was one of several treaties between Imperial Russia and the Qing Empire in the early modern period, establishing trade agreements and defining the border between Russian Siberia and the Qing territories of Mongolia and Manchuria.
The Treaty of Kyakhta set the borders between Russia and China at the Kyakhta and Argun Rivers, and, along with the Treaty of Nerchinsk (1689) and Treaty of Aigun (1858) established the borders we know today.
The fate of this land, according to the treaty, would be determined in the future by ambassadors or further correspondence between the two nations' capitals.

This beginning of the 'Treaty System' which opened China increasingly to foreign interests was perceived in Saint Petersburg as a threat to Russia's interests as enshrined within theTreaty of Nerchinsk (1689) and the later Kiakhta agreement (1727).

China and Russia signed the Treaty of Aigun in 1858 and shortly afterwards it appears that Putiatin at last got official ratification of the 1855 agreement from the Japanese.
