China ceded Hongkong; and the right to prohibit the largest drug cartel; civilization has ever known, from importing their drugs into China. The East India Tea Co, sponsored by the British government, by divine rite of Rome. Imported opium poppy seeds from Turkey; cultivated them in the Kirbee pass area. These crops were then shipped into China, and the Chinese Government could do nothing about it. The residual effect still effects world opium drug trafficking. The Opium poppy is not indigenous to that area, and Afghanistan would have never, had opium to put on today's drug market. O! How the sins of yesterday, return to haunt today
was divided into spheres of influence
Imperialism had a major affect on China. The Opium War played a major part of this. The opium war was provoked by the problems with European countries and China. British were getting tired of doing outside trading and wanted to trade directly with China. China had little need from the West. As a direct result the smuggling of opium began. Opium was forbidden in China except for medicinal use. The war was fought to determine the relations between China and the West, and as a result China was forced to reevaluate her position as the center of the world. Imperialism is most commonly related to historical content such as the ancient histories of Rome, Greece, and China.
In China, during the late 1800. The Chinese refused entry to the English opium trade into China and as a result found themselves at war with the English and half of Europe and The USA.
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.
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.
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.
