View of Vladivostok city
Location Information:
The
territory on which modern
Vladivostok is located had been part
of many nations, such as Balhae,
Jurchen, the Mongol Empire, and
China, before Russia acquired the
entire Maritime Province and the
island of Sakhalin by the Treaty of
Aigun (1858). China, which had just
lost the Opium War with Britain, was
unable to act to maintain the
region. The Pacific coast near
Vladivostok was settled mainly by
the Chinese, Jurchen, Manchu and
Korean during Imperial Chinese Qing
dynasty period. A French whaler
visiting the Zolotoy Rog in 1852
discovered Chinese or Manchu village
fishermen on the shore of the bay.
