اتفاقية يانگتسى
اتفاقية يانگتسى (بالإنگليزية: Yangtze Agreement) كانت اتفاقية بين بريطانيا وألمانيا، وُقـِّعت فيستة أكتوبر 1900، وسقطها رئيس الوزراء البريطاني Robert Gascoyne-Cecil and Ambassador Paul von Hatzfeldt respectively, stating both parties' opposition to the partition of China into spheres of influence.
التاريخ
The agreement was signed in accordance with the Open Door Policy, which all major nations supported. That policy involved equal access to Chinese markets. The Germans supported it because a partition of China would limit Germany to a small trading market instead of all of China.
