China and Britain traded opium, Britain go the opium from south India, Chinese people were getting onto this drug and so China tried to stopped all trade with Britain. China also tried to get rid of most of the opium but failed, china hurt Britain's economy and Britain attacked china's navy but china ended up losing because Britain went through the Industrial Revolution so they had better weapons that could reload faster and fire farther
