👍1900 CHINA BRITISH & RUSSIAN STANDOFF OVER TIENTSIN RAIL POSTCARD 英俄为天津火车站两军对峙

Description

In June 1900, the Eight Nation Alliance
besieged Tianjin
and battled the Boxers in the black bamboo forest outside the British
and French Concession
. During the ten days of fighting, the Tianjin railway station buildings were also destroyed. By July 1900, the armies of the Allies
occupied Tianjin and the east coast of the rail station became the occupied zone of the Russian
. By December that same year, the Russian Concession
was opened and the rail station was now located within the boundaries of the concession. This was strongly opposed by the British and in the end, through the intermediation of Germany, the Russians eventually gave in.
