Britain sold opium to China in return for the many Chinese commodities the British people craved as an alternative to using silver as a medium of exchange. The British had no domestic source of silver, whereas opium from Northeast India was available cheaply in large quantities from the British East India Company.

Why did the Chinese empire fall?
China's experience with European Imperialism is probably one of the most despicable ones in history. British merchants, who wanted a product to sell in China, came upon the idea of becoming drug dealers who would get the Chinese addicted to opium. When the Chinese emperor called foul, Britain went to war with the country. There were three Opium Wars, and Britain won them all, earning the right to get people addicted to a dangerous narcotic.
What did Britain hope to accomplish by providing opium to china?

What was the main purpose of the colonies?
The Navigation Acts were an attempt to put the theory of Mercantilism into practice in the British colonies. The object of mercantilism was to minimize imports that cost the nation money, and maximize exports that made the nation money. Colonies were a means of reducing England's dependence on foreign nations. Each colony would provide a raw material to England and this would allow the nation to not have to purchase that product from another nation. By establishing colonies loyal to the Crown, Great Britain would be expanding a dependable market for the finished products coming out of British industries. The Navigation Acts required that all colonial trade be carried in vessels built and owned by English or colonial merchants. The ships had to be manned by crews composed of British seamen. The Acts also required that European nations must sell products to the colonies by first stoping at English ports where they would have to pay a customs duty (tax). The products were checked and then were permitted to travel to the colonies. All products had to go through these ports controlled by England. This made the cost of the product more expensive but protected the trade of Great Britain. Certain materials from the colonies could only be shipped in British or colonial ships and had to be sent to England first. The product was then taxed and allowed to be sent to its destination in whatever European nation. Colonial products could not be shipped directly to any foreign nation.
Can you tell reasons behind World War 1 and World War 2?
Yes: Both are the product of what had gone before in many ways. Both are essentially European & involve France & Germany. Britain & the British Empire & the USA & Russia are Allies. In both instances there is conflict on the High seas & in Africa & Asia & elsewhere, in WW2 there is also a major conflict with Japan in the Pacific. WW2 is, by & large, a product of WW1. WW1 is in some way concerned with both the Franco/Prussian war of 1870/71 & the Napoleonic wars. But it is a complicated process.....
