The Eight-Power Coalition Burned the Yuanmingyuan? Or did the Anglo-French army burn the Yuanmingyuan? Many people have illusions
Who burned the Yuanmingyuan? Many people are easy to confuse the Eight-Power Alliance with the British and French Alliance, and as a result, some people answered at the first time that the Eight-Power Alliance burned the Yuanmingyuan, and then slowed down to change that the British and French Coalition army burned the Yuanmingyuan, as for why this illusion occurs, this is actually not that we do not understand history, but history confuses us.
First of all, on October 18, 1860, the British and French allies became robbers, and more than 3,500 people on both sides rushed into the Yuanmingyuan like people who had not eaten for several months to move, rob, and smash, and then set a fire to try to burn the evidence, and the result was that this fire burned for three days and three nights, and this treasure building in human history was buried in the hands of two robbers, of which the robbers also shouted: This fire will shock China and Europe, and its effect is far beyond the imagination of people thousands of miles away.
And the Eight-Nation Alliance, Britain and France once again joined the ranks of bandits, and in 1900 invaded Beijing, rushed into the Forbidden City, killed people and set fires, no evil, the Yuanmingyuan was robbed again, only this time the Yuanmingyuan did not have the solemnity of the past, because the torch of the British and French coalition forces could burn all the torches, the Qing government originally wanted to repair the Yuanmingyuan again, but the national inventory was limited, and the result was only repaired one or two, not completely repaired, and this time the robbery of the Eight-Nation Alliance army caused the Yuanmingyuan to collapse completely.
There is a difference of 40 years between the two events of the Anglo-French coalition and the Eight-Nation Alliance, the behavior is to rush into Beijing, rob, and do bad things in the Yuanmingyuan, so it is easy to zhang guan Li Dai, thinking that the Eight-Nation Alliance also burned the Yuanmingyuan, but it is true that when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, it still did not give up on the Yuanmingyuan, but this fire was not as big as the fire of the Anglo-French coalition, so in the major historical events, the burning of the Yuanmingyuan by the Anglo-French coalition army became the first evil, and naturally it should be mentioned.
Writing this article is not to feel anything, but for this period of history, we need to have a correct understanding, in the historical event, the British and French coalition army burned the Yuanmingyuan, and the Eight-Power Coalition invaded China also had a robbery of the Yuanmingyuan, but according to the historical importance, the burning of the Yuanmingyuan by the British and French coalition forces is a historical problem, so I hope that everyone will not be confused again.
Today, the cause site is still there, its tombstone is already standing on the wreckage, it bears witness to the humiliation of China's modern history, it is a sign of every Chinese son and daughter striving to be strong, how can we confuse this important matter? Finally, it was the British and French forces that burned the Yuanmingyuan.
