21 Aug 1793 Jahr - British try (and fail) to set up a trading deal

Beschreibung:

Lord George Macartney of Britain came to China to discuss expanding trade. The Chinese were dissatisfied with his goods, and his refusal to kowtow the emperor got him sent away. However, China's isolation would come back to haunt them.
