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.

JordanThe Opium Wars occurred from 1839 - 1842, it was fought over Britains right to sell opium in China. When the Chinese Government finally had enough of their people becoming opium addicts they decided to go to war. But it ended up in an embarrising defeat by the British and the British continued to sell opium in China., and the Treaty of Nanjing gave the British control over Hong Kong.

Why is China the most racist country?
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.
How does one extract the opium resign and turn into what you can smoke?
Opium is produced by scoring the poppy pods which causes the latex to ooze out and then solidify. This raw opium is converted to smoking opium by dissolving it in hot water and filtering it to remove plant material and other insoluble impurities. The water and opium mixture is then heated over a low flame to evaporate the water. Once it resembles a sticky paste it is dried in the sun.
