The main reason for the conflict between Britain and China in the 19th century was the opium trade. Britain was exporting opium from India to China, leading to widespread addiction and social issues in China. The Chinese government's attempts to curb the opium trade culminated in the First Opium War (1839-1842), as Britain sought to protect its economic interests, resulting in a series of unequal treaties that favored British trade and territorial control. This conflict marked the beginning of significant Western influence and intervention in China.
Great Britain would not stop its merchants from selling opium in China.
The smuggle of a very addicting drug named Opium that was brought over to China from Britain's Indian colonies. When China banned this highly effective and addicting drug from China, the British attacked Chinese ports. There we seen it as the Opium War between China and Britain. Britain however won the war, but banned Opium.
