Describe the cycle of silver from Britain to China and back?
The cycle of sliver from Britain to China and back to Britain again was that silver gained from the sale of Opium helped purchase Chinese tea, which the English drank a lot of per year. The tax on tea provided Britain with ten percent of its revenue. The British government had a vested interest in not only maintaining, but increasing the amount of opium sold in China. Silver gained from the sale of opium helped purchase Chinese tea, which the English drank by the millions-of-gallons every year. The tax on this tea provided the British government with ten percent of its revenue. Britain's expanding sales of opium to China caused the Opium War of 1839. China wanted sales stopped and destroyed an opium shipment at Guangzhou. The British responded by attacking the port cities shown on the map. The war ended in 1842 with a treaty favorable for the victorious British.

The two Opium Wars were between China and what other country?
I'm going to guess it was between China and England over trade routes during ming dynSTY. The Chinese I think were getting hooked on it and some how the English empire was making money off it. It was processed and manufacturer-ed and sold back and there was a trade deficit. The chinese use to make money off silver, pottery and silk. We have a trade deficit today as well. I'm going to google it. It has something to do with the great wall and why China had closed off trade to start with. I think that is how the royal family got all their wealth and what fueled the aristocracy. Today we have blood diamonds and drugs. I still burn the frankincense. I use to like to smoke opium when I was in high school but it was hard to find. It would taste a little like soap, but they usually sole it to you right on the screen . It was a black tarry goo like substance and we usually did it with a little hash. I miss the 70's. I did go nuts and had mood swings when I came off it and got misdiagnosed with manic depression but I responded to the lithium anyhow. I got my life together long enough to graduate. They teach the impact of the opium wars in 11th grade American History class, but I don't think we were in it. I think It had something to do with open markets and terr-ifs on foreign imports. Very good question. the opium wars are going on right now in Afghanistan if you want my honest opinion.
