...refuse entry to foreign diplomats at Peking.
The allies resume hostilities and an invading British force is slaughtered in 1859 by the Chinese near Beijing.
An Anglo-French expedition seizes the Taku forts, moves upriver and takes Tianjin, then defeats a Chinese army outside of Peking and burns the emperor's summer palace.
The emperor flees, and his commissioners conclude four new treaties.
Russia meanwhile expands at Chinese expense.
