Causes:

  • British aggression and expansionalism. - Opium became the most valuable commodity trade in the 19th century and financed much of Britain's colonization of India.
  • Amount of drug addicts increased to about 12.5 million in 1836.
  • Manchu's corrupt and backward government refused to trade with the British.
  • Had to instigate redress.

Results:

  • British gain rights in Chinese ports (More ports are opened)
  • Extraterritoriality (Foreign citizens subject to their home laws)

After 2 disasterous wars in 1839 onwards the Chinese realized they couldn't win and gave up.
