The British introduced opium to the Chinese and got them addicted. By doing this the Chinese only spent money on the drug. Their economy basically crashed because of opium. Opium is basically heroin.
they got it from India then manufactured the opium
The Treaty of Nanjing in 1842 ended the First Opium War and gained the island of Hong Kong for the British.
The British wanted to trade opium for China's resources.
The opium trade was extremely profitable for the British, and thus they wished to end the ban of opium in order to resume the opium trade and make profits.
No. China did not start the Opium wars. The Opium wars were started by the British, who desperately wanted Chinese products, but were not able to get any because the Chinese people were not interested in British imports. Britain finally discovered Opium, and quickly got the Chinese population addicted. When the emperor of the time banned Opium, Britain attacked China, which launched the Opium wars.
If you're referrring to the opium wars between China and Britain, the British bought opium from growers in India (which was under British control at the time).
