The Opium Wars, particularly the First Opium War (1839-1842), were pivotal in establishing British and other European economic dominance in China. Britain's trade of opium in exchange for tea and other goods led to significant conflicts, culminating in China's defeat. The resulting treaties, such as the Treaty of Nanking, forced China to cede territory, open ports to foreign trade, and grant extraterritorial rights to Europeans, thereby integrating China into the global economy under European terms and solidifying their economic power in the region.

Imperialism had a major affect on China. The Opium War played a major part of this. The opium war was provoked by the problems with European countries and China. British were getting tired of doing outside trading and wanted to trade directly with China. China had little need from the West. As a direct result the smuggling of opium began. Opium was forbidden in China except for medicinal use. The war was fought to determine the relations between China and the West, and as a result China was forced to reevaluate her position as the center of the world. Imperialism is most commonly related to historical content such as the ancient histories of Rome, Greece, and China.
