Battle of the Barrier

The Battle of the Barrier was fought between British and Chinese forces at the boundary separating Macao from mainland China on 19 August 1840 during the First Opium War. Located in modern-day Portas do Cerco, the Macao Peninsula was connected to Xiangshan Island by a narrow isthmus about 100 m (330 ft) wide and 1.2 km (0.75 mi) long.
