Great Britain defeated China in 1842 during the First Opium War. The conflict arose primarily from disputes over trade, particularly the opium trade, and culminated in China's defeat, leading to the Treaty of Nanking. This treaty marked a significant shift in China's relations with Western powers, ceding Hong Kong to Britain and opening several ports to British trade.
