Vladivostok is founded in Russia on July…
July 1860 CE
The aboriginals of the territory on which modern Vladivostok is located are the Udege minority, and a sub-minority called the Taz which emerged through members of the indigenous Udege mixing with the nearby Chinese and Hezhe.
The region had been part of many states, such as the Mohe, Balhae Kingdom, Liao Dynasty, Jīn Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty and various other Chinese dynasties, before Russia acquired the entire Maritime Province and the island of Sakhalin by the Treaty of Beijing (1860).
Qing China, which has just lost the Opium War with Britain, is unable to defend the region.
The Manchu emperors of China, the Qing Dynasty, ban Han Chinese from most of Manchuria including the Vladivostok area—it is only visited by illegal gatherers of ginseng and sea cucumbers.
Warrant officer Nikolay Komarov with twenty-eight soldiers and two non-commissioned officers under his command have been brought from Nikolayevsk-on-Amur by ship to construct the first buildings of the future city.
