The above picture is full of the simple patriotic feelings of some netizens, but the number of words is not much, but it is full of errors and omissions. History needs to be remembered, but there is no need to spread rumors to consume patriotic feelings.
Who burned the Old Summer Palace?
History textbooks for junior and senior high schools clearly mention that on October 6, 1860, after the British and French forces captured Beijing, they went straight to the Old Summer Palace. So ** is the Anglo-French coalition. Even the French writer Victor Hugo, in a letter to his friend, Captain Barrett, who had participated in the Second Opium War, severely condemned the crimes committed by the British and French forces in the Old Summer Palace: "One day two robbers broke into the Old Summer Palace, one robbed it, and the other burned it. It turned out that victory was a plunder, and the victors stole all the wealth of the Old Summer Palace and then divided the spoils among themselves. All these things are done in the name of Elgin. ”
The great writer Hugo was angry at the evil deeds of the British and French forces, "Two robbers, one is called France and the other is called England", how did they forget it when they came to us?
When was the Eight-Nation Alliance?
The invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Coalition took place in 1900, and the armed war of aggression against the Qing Dynasty was mainly composed of eight major countries led by Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Russia, Japan, Italy, and Austria. In the end, the Qing Dynasty was forced to sign the "Xinchou Treaty", the Qing Dynasty was completely reduced to the court of foreigners, and modern China was completely reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, which is a history that we cannot forget.
