10 giug 1871 anni - Battle of Ganghwa
Descrizione:
The Battle of Ganghwa (June 10–11, 1871) was fought during the conflict between Joseon and the United States in 1871. In May, an expedition of five Asiatic Squadron warships set sail from Japan to Korea in order to establish trade relations, ensure the safety of shipwrecked sailors, and to find out what happened to the crew of the SS General Sherman. When American forces arrived in Korea, the originally peaceful mission turned into a battle when guns from a Korean fort suddenly opened fire on the Americans. The battle to capture Ganghwa Island's forts was the largest engagement of the conflict. Although the battle was a victory for American forces, the Koreans refused to sign a trade treaty with the United States until 1882.
