Opium Wars I (2 янв 1839 г. – 25 сент 1843 г.)

Описание:

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.
