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. Most favored trading status appears to be

founded on the right to sell drugs, property rights, and the desire to

spread your own beliefs to others.
