It was that Britain wanted tea so they started trading with China. Unfortunately, China only wanted gold. It was an uneven trade so Britain started trying to trade with Opium, but China did not want Opium so Britain declared war. The Chinese were not that hi-tech so they lost the war and Britain got Hong Kong. It was really sad because their armor was wood which was not enough to stop a bullet.
