Answer 1

1. False The first of great European travelers to set out the east was an Italian, Giovanni da Pian del Carpini, Provincial of the Franciscan Order at Cologne.

2. True. The Ming Dynasty fell to the Manchu-led Qing Dynasty in 1644.

3. Not sure. Can't find anything definitive on the subject.

4. False. According to Wikipedia (consider the source) The conflict began with the growing trade deficit Britain had with China and the smuggling of opium to China by the British.

5. TRUE (but there are errors) The points of the treaty as I have found state FIVE ports, inlcuding Shanghai.

6. TRUE (again wording may make this false) From Wiki again: "The Open Door Policy is a concept in foreign affairs stating that, in principle, all nations should have equal commercial and industrial trade rights in China. As a theory, the Open Door Policy originates with British commercial practice, as was reflected in treaties concluded with Qing Dynasty China after the First Opium War (1839-1842). Although the Open Door is generally associated with China, it was recognized at the Berlin Conference of 1885, which declared that no power could levy preferential duties in the Congo basin."
