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 major cause of Britain's war against China in the mid-nineteenth century, known as the Opium War (1839-1842), was the Chinese government's attempts to suppress the opium trade. British merchants were exporting opium from India to China, leading to widespread addiction and social issues. When the Chinese authorities enforced strict regulations and confiscated opium stocks, Britain sought to protect its trade interests, leading to military conflict. The war ultimately resulted in the Treaty of Nanking, which favored British trade and territorial interests.
