-Tianjin was founded during the [[Sui Dynasty]] at the northern end of the [[Grand Canal]] and became a major trading center. The Treaty of Tianjin at the conclusion of the [[Second Opium War]] in 1858 opened the city to foreign trade and residence, and a number of quasi-colonial foreign concessions were established by the [[United Kingdom]], [[France]], [[Belgium]], [[Germany]], [[Austria-Hungary]], the [[United States]], [[Russia]] and [[Japan]]. In 1870 rumors that French missionaries were kidnapping and killing Chinese orphans led to the [[Tianjin Massacre]], in which the main [[Catholic]] church and monastery were destroyed and priests, [[nun]]s and converts killed. Tianjin was occupied by Boxer forces during the 1900 [[Boxer Rebellion]] and suffered great destruction. It was occupied by Japan between 1937 and 1945, and in 1949 was occupied by the Communist-led [[Chinese People's Liberation Army]].
