Britain might have defended its role in the Opium War by pointing to the corruption in the Manchu government and the heavy taxes levied on the peasants, as being hypocritical of what Lin says in the letter. The letter indicates that Chinese exports included silk, tea and rhubarb. China's trade with foreigners before the Opium War was conducted through Canton.

The affect that opium had on people was mainly the First opium war 1839-1842. That war was between the British East India Company and Qing Dyunasty of China forcing China to allow free trade in opium. The era was known as the "end of Chinese isolation bringing them into modern Chinese history ending the monopoly of trading in opium. The rest is all history with the Chinese bringing opium to Sanfrancisco and addicting many Americans. hat
A long history of inbreeding and war provocation to keep the empire growing and to keep the opium trade viable.

The Opium War is a shameful blot of Britain's history. This is because the British traders were trying to force a negative item, or a drug to be precise, into China, who refused to accept it. The reason China decided to refuse it is because the Opium is making the citizens addicts, and therefore must be stopped. The British didn't take this as a lesson, but instead declared war on China for not accepting an item that shouldn't be sold in the first place. So, this concludes that the war was declared without much consideration and thinking. Thus, I belive that The Opium War is a shameful blot of Britain's history.
he opium war was started by the british people selling opium to the Chinese people for their goods. The emporer of china was angry because of all of the people always on opium so he made it illegal to sell or buy opium. When Britain kept selling the opium illegaly, that's what started the war. heroin addicts.
yes
The first opium war began, in very brief words, because China wanted to control the importing of Opium from Britain, and Britain was not a fan since its largest export to China was Opium and imported tea.
