Treaty of Kyakhta
Quick Summary
The Treaty of Kyakhta (1727) was a peace settlement between Russia and the Manchu Chinese empire. It confirmed and expanded upon the terms of the earlier Treaty of Nerchinsk (1689). The Treaty of Nerchinsk had established borders along the Stanovoy Range and the Argun River, and it prevented Russia's eastward expansion into the Amur River basin. The Treaty of Kyakhta maintained these border arrangements and regulated trade between the two empires. The town of Kyakhta itself was a significant frontier post and the primary link between Russia and China for centuries.12
