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.


What event resulted in the legalization of the opium trade in China?

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.
