Britain forced China to accept the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842 following the First Opium War, which erupted over trade disputes and China's efforts to restrict opium imports. The British military, equipped with superior weaponry and naval power, defeated Chinese forces, leading to a series of humiliating defeats for China. Under pressure, the Qing government was compelled to sign the treaty, which ceded Hong Kong to Britain, opened several ports to British trade, and established a framework for extraterritorial rights for British citizens in China. This marked a significant shift in China's sovereignty and the beginning of what is often referred to as the "Century of Humiliation."

What impact did the treaty of nanjing have on China -?
Tensions between the Chinese and British led to what became known as the Opium War in 1839. Chinese weapons and military tactics were no match for the British gunboats. The Chinese were defeated and signed the Treaty of Nanking in 1842. The provisions of the treaty required the Chinese to pay the British for losses during the war, give the British the island of Hong Kong, and open five ports to foreign trade. In addition, British citizens in China were granted immunity from Chinese laws. British citizens in China were allowed to live under British laws and if they committed a crime on Chinese soil, they could only be tried in British courts. Another clause of the treaty stated that if China granted rights to another nation, Britain would be guaranteed the same rights. The Treaty of Nanking was the first of the "unequal treaties" signed between China and the Western powers.
What did the British force china to trade for there tea and silks?
The British forced China to trade for tea and silks primarily by exporting opium, which was grown in British-controlled India. As the Chinese population became increasingly addicted to opium, demand surged, leading to a trade imbalance that favored Britain. This situation ultimately resulted in the Opium Wars, which forced China to open its markets and cede territories, such as Hong Kong, to British control. Through these conflicts, Britain established a significant foothold in Chinese trade.
