Opium Wars I (2 gen 1839 anni – 25 sett 1843 anni)

Descrizione:

The British Empire wanted access to China's markets, and found that selling opium (a highly addictive drug) could make them lots of money. So, they fought a war against the Qing Dynasty. Superior British technology allowed them victory and secured several ports that the British could use to sell goods (like Opium). This starts a slow crumbling of Chinese independence and increasing European influence.
