Which country smuggled opium into China and initiated the Opium Wars?
British merchants had the habit of smuggling opium into China. The Chinese government was opposed to this, so blocked British shipping from entering Chinese ports. The British Foreign Secretary, Lord Palmerston (who was called 'the irreducible minimum of government, the cement of British politics') took offence to this and declared war on the Chinese.
How did the Embargo Act have a positive effect?
The embargo act had a positive effect because it cuts off supplies for british and french.
Where only British evacuated?
I'm guessing you're asking about the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk. There were about 335,000 troops evacuated, including some 30,000 French. The bulk of the French forces were elsewhere, south of the Seine River. The effect of the German attack through the Ardennes had been to drive a wedge between the British and French. The gap widened as the British went one direction, toward the Channel ports, and the French withdrew southward.
What ports did the World War 1 solidiers land at?
US troops debarked in France at half a dozen ports. By far the most of these landed in Brest, nearly 800,000. About another 200,000 landed at St. Nazaire. Both these small port cities so familiar to WWI doughboys became notorious in WWII for their use as German submarine bases, once the Germans occupied France. British troops used ports on the northern French coast, behind that portion of the front they held.
The results of the blockade of British ports was that?
Exports to France were haulted. France exports were halted.
