There were two Opium Wars sometimes called the Anglo-Chinese war. Both were struggles about trade rights in China. The high tarriff placed on imported opium by the Chinese Government and the attempt by Anglo traders to circumvent the tax resulted in the Chines siezure of about four million pounds from the warehouses of the Traders. The Chinese burned the opium. In the war that followed the British occupied Canton and the 1842 Treaty of Nanking gave Britain trading concessions and Hong Kong. The French and Americans demand for equal trading rights brought on the second Opium War which was resolved by the 1958 Treaty of Tienstin, granting French and America to trade in China on an equal footing with the British. It also allowed missionary entry into China and to hold and own property within China. Most favored trading status appears to be founded on the right to sell drugs, property rights, and the desire to spread your own beliefs to others.
