Another attack occurs in the Shimonoseki Straits…

July 1864 CE

Another attack occurs in the Shimonoseki Straits in July 1864, despite retaliatory action from the treaty powers, when the rebel forces fire upon the U.S. steamer Monitor after she enters a harbor for coal and water.

This provokes further outrage, even after a British squadron delivers a multi-national ultimatum to Takachika, threatening military force if the strait is not opened.
