Trade. Export of opium to China (grown in British India) had been a very profitable business for the British. When the Chinese Government tried to put a stop to it, Britain started the war to force China to re-open its market for this British export product.
China was in complete chaos. The government fell apart, and the country was in anarchy as different states tried to take control of each other.
In short, China had to accept the opium trade. Britain, in particular, really gained from this. They made the Chinese sign two treaties, both of which were remarkably unfair. These treaties gave the British the right to open ports in China for wholly unrestricted trade. The same treaties made China hand over Hong Kong to Britain and provided for fixed tariffs. Other countries tried to make similarly unfair deals with China, and violence would break out over these same issues again and again.
Answer this question… The United States worked to open both countries to foreign trade.
Opium, England was paying out too much of its gold reserves to china for it's tea so to overcome this the clipper ships that picked up the tea from china were filed up with opium to trade for the tea instead of gold. Eventually when china became aware of the damage this was doing to its people and economy they tried to stop this practice leading to the opium wars. Which item contributed most to England's trade deficit with China? Tea
The British were forced to pay for their imports with silver. The British sent increasing quantities of silver to China, especially in exchange for tea, which was in great demand by British. At first, the British tried to negotiate with the Chinese to improve the trade imbalance. When negotiating failed, the British turned to trading opium.
When Italy invaded Ethiopia, the League of Nations, tried to penalize Italy by blocking trade to and from the country of Italy. This type of blockade is known as a trade embargo.
