The First Opium War (1839-1842) was won by Britain, leading to significant concessions from China, including the cession of Hong Kong and the opening of several ports to British trade. The Second Opium War (1856-1860), also initiated by British interests, further solidified British control and resulted in additional treaties that expanded foreign influence in China. These conflicts marked a significant shift in China's relations with Western powers and contributed to the decline of the Qing Dynasty.
