What+is+extraterritoriality?

 Extraterritoriality is the exemption of people from one country living in another country from laws of the country in which they are living. This meant that the foreign residents followed their home country's laws and court systems. The British were granted this in China by the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842, while the Americans and other foreigners weren't given that freedom until the Treaty of Wanghia in 1844.
