The Opium War started with the British East India Company selling Opium in India, when the market for Opium in India ran out the British decided to trade with China.
The British shipped Opium into Canton and then sold it to the Chinese merchants, selling it to the Chinese people. By the 1830's China had been flooded with tons of cheap Opium. In 1839 the Imperial Commissioner for Canton wanted to cut off all Opium trade with the British, his name was Lin Tse-hsu. Because the British used the money from the Opium to buy things such as tea and porcelain, which were all in great demand in Britain, the British were not happy. Despite China's warnings Britain sold the Opium illegally for a higher price. Meanwhile the British had began their renaissance because they were white they found some mexicans to help them build weirdass english houses and make tea cabinets
China was distraught and beheaded all Britons in China, those who surrendered were forced to work farms in China, as you can imagine the British were not happy about this either. However the Chinese sent a small army of junks to Britain but the British already sent a small but powerful army of modern naval fleets. The two countries met in the middle of the ocean and that was how the war started.
The British won and forced the Chinese to pay in silver, tea, porcelain and made them sign a treaty.

The Chinese government's attempts to suppress the opium trade, including the confiscation of opium stocks, provoked a military response from Britain, resulting in the First Opium War (1839-1842). This conflict ultimately highlighted the clash of interests between imperial powers and led to significant territorial and trade concessions for Britain, deepening the rift between the two nations.
Why was the opium war fought?
There were two Opium Wars sometimes called the Anglo-Chinese war. Both were struggles about trade rights in China. The high tarriff placed on imported opium by the Chinese Government and the attempt by Anglo traders to circumvent the tax resulted in the Chines siezure of about four million pounds from the warehouses of the Traders. The Chinese burned the opium. In the war that followed the British occupied Canton and the 1842 Treaty of Nanking gave Britain trading concessions and Hong Kong. The French and Americans demand for equal trading rights brought on the second Opium War which was resolved by the 1958 Treaty of Tienstin, granting French and America to trade in China on an equal footing with the British. It also allowed missionary entry into China and to hold and own property within China.
