Treaty Of Nerchinsk




According to this treaty, Russia gave up its hopes of gaining access to the Sea Of Japan , but Established Trade Relations with the Qing Dynasty of China. The Russian outpost of Albazin , which had been a source of conflict between China and Russia, was to be abandoned and destroyed. The border between Russia and China was traced along the Stanovoy Ridge and the Argun River .

, which opened Kiakhta for caravan trade and further clarified the border between the two empires.

The conditions of the two treaties were substantially revised to Russia's benefit by the Aigun Treaty of 1858 and the Beijing Treaty of 1860 , which established the Russo-Chinese border roughly corresponding to that of today.
