It was that Britain wanted tea so they started trading with China. Unfortunately, China only wanted gold. It was an uneven trade so Britain started trying to trade with Opium, but China did not want Opium so Britain declared war. The Chinese were not that hi-tech so they lost the war and Britain got Hong Kong. It was really sad because their armor was wood which was not enough to stop a bullet.

What event resulted in the legalization of the opium trade in China?

The legalization of the opium trade in China was largely a result of the First Opium War (1839-1842) between China and Britain. The war was sparked by China's attempts to enforce its ban on opium imports, leading to military conflict. The Treaty of Nanking, signed in 1842, ended the war and included provisions that favored British trade interests, effectively legalizing the opium trade in China. This marked a significant shift in Chinese policy and contributed to widespread social and economic issues related to opium consumption.
