Why did the Anglo American coalition destroy the Old Summer Palace

It's not for no reason, it's because the Empress Dowager Cixi declared war on its eleven countries, and a total of eight countries sent troops to form the Eight-Nation Alliance, when Cixi had fled from Tianjin to Beijing, the Eight-Nation Alliance saw that it could be burned, and the valuable ones were snatched away, and the remaining good-looking Yuanmingyuan could not be moved away and simply smashed, which was the "masterpiece" of the Eight-Nation Alliance

The main thing is that the Qing ** allowed the Boxers to kill innocent foreigners and missionaries, besiege the embassy, and make moves that are not modern and civilized.

The Eight-Nation Coalition Army marched into Beijing under the pretext of wanting to teach the arrogant Qing ** a lesson They were originally going to burn the Forbidden City, but they still gave the Qing ** face.

Only the Old Summer Palace was burned.

Big brother, it was the Anglo-French coalition during the Second Opium War and the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Destroy the evidence of their invasion of China.

The old lady Cixi had no ability to pretend to be an uncle and abused the British and French ambassadors. Another army is coming. I can't see the shadow when I run away! Leave all the people behind. In the court, that bull doesn't know how to go! Rely on your old pigtail sow!

Does it still make sense for robbers to rob something?

If you are backward, you will be beaten, the country is not strong, who are you bullying if people don't bully you?!

In fact, there is no way to stop it, not that you can stop it if you want to, because the invasion of the Eight-Nation Coalition has reached Beijing, so at that time, many Chinese treasures were plundered.

The means by which the Anglo-French forces destroyed the Old Summer Palace were very cruel, and the crimes committed by the Anglo-French forces in China cannot be forgotten by the Chinese:

In the process of looting by the British and French forces, many people near the Old Summer Palace also rushed to enter, some of them led the way for the British and French forces, and some looted the treasures privately. After plundering with the Anglo-French army, some people did it again, and they brought fuel to the Anglo-French army to help burn the garden. In this way, with the joint efforts of the British and French forces and some people near the Old Summer Palace in Beijing, the Old Summer Palace was no longer prosperous.

After suffering from looting and "fire robbery", the Old Summer Palace was not completely destroyed, according to the Qing court's later investigation, there were still 13 landscapes left in the Old Summer Palace at this time, and part of the mountain-shaped water system was not destroyed. However, this remaining integrity did not escape the catastrophe, but rather the beginning of its catastrophe.

After the Second Opium War, the Qing court suffered another defeat, and the First Sino-Japanese War was defeated by Japan, a small peninsular country that was once despised; The Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, and was directly powerless to fight back, and after Cixi and others fled westward, Beijing became the target of the invaders again.

Hello, I'm Mr. Xiaoguan, I have seen your question and am sorting out the answer, please wait a while

The reason for the destruction of the Old Summer Palace by the British and French forces was because the British Minister Ergin and the British commander Grant saw the hostages and corpses, and thought that only the destruction of the Old Summer Palace could give the Chinese emperor a great blow. Therefore, they regarded the splendid imperial gardens as the private property of the Chinese emperor, and became the object of revenge and personal anger of the coalition forces.
