Chinese were isolated for a long time while, British invented many weapons which let Great Britain defeat China in the Opium War.
Causes:British aggression and expansionalism. - Opium became the most valuable commodity trade in the 19th century and financed much of Britain's colonization of India.Amount of drug addicts increased to about 12.5 million in 1836.Manchu's corrupt and backward government refused to trade with the British.Had to instigate redress.Results:British gain rights in Chinese ports (More ports are opened)Extraterritoriality (Foreign citizens subject to their home laws)After 2 disasterous wars in 1839 onwards the Chinese realized they couldn't win and gave up.
I argue that it is not. For the most part, people do not take arms up against people of other races, cultures, or even smaller differences which seem insignificant, like in many other countries. Many different races live in China, and there are hundreds of different dialects of languages spoken in China. China is not the most racist country, not even close.
The years between 1912 and 1938 were filled with upheaval in China. It was marked by the driving out of many of the foreign people there because it was believed they were a bad influence.
Many experts agree that China is the country that uses copper the most. Currently China's demand for copper is higher than the supply available.
around 2 000 000 Chinese people used opium on a habitual basis
Opium, in a number of related forms, is produced from poppy flowers. Many in the Emperor's court became addicted to the drug after it was introduced to China in the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, Britain fought two wars in China that included legalizing the trade in opium.
Opium and the Opium Wars is one of many ways.xx
The affect that opium had on people was mainly the First opium war 1839-1842. That war was between the British East India Company and Qing Dyunasty of China forcing China to allow free trade in opium. The era was known as the "end of Chinese isolation bringing them into modern Chinese history ending the monopoly of trading in opium. The rest is all history with the Chinese bringing opium to Sanfrancisco and addicting many Americans. hat
