No, Beijing was not captured by the UK during the Opium Wars. The First Opium War (1839-1842) primarily involved conflicts in Canton (Guangzhou) and resulted in the Treaty of Nanking, which ceded Hong Kong to Britain. The Second Opium War (1856-1860) saw British and French forces capturing Beijing, but this was after the initial conflict. The wars were focused on trade disputes, particularly regarding opium trade and diplomatic rights.
The legalization of the opium trade in China was largely a result of the First Opium War (1839-1842) between China and Britain. The war was sparked by China's attempts to enforce its ban on opium imports, leading to military conflict. The Treaty of Nanking, signed in 1842, ended the war and included provisions that favored British trade interests, effectively legalizing the opium trade in China. This marked a significant shift in Chinese policy and contributed to widespread social and economic issues related to opium consumption.
The British won the first and second Opium War.

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.
The First Opium War was fought between the United Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty of China. The war resulted in a victory for Britain, and it is estimated that there were upwards of 20,000 casualties.
