China's experience with European Imperialism is probably one of the most despicable ones in history. British merchants, who wanted a product to sell in China, came upon the idea of becoming drug dealers who would get the Chinese addicted to opium. When the Chinese emperor called foul, Britain went to war with the country. There were three Opium Wars, and Britain won them all, earning the right to get people addicted to a dangerous narcotic.
