Question

The Opium Wars involved

a.China, Great Britain

b. USA, China

c. Japan, China

d. USA, Japan

Answer 1

A.  The Opium trade happened because (other than tea) China had nothing else the West wanted.  China was generally self-sufficient, the only thing she wanted was silver.  So, in general, the trade was silver for opium.

Answer 2

Great Britain was one of several countries which used military force to reverse the Chinese law outlawing the sale of opium. The Brits made too much money selling drugs to the Chinese. Of course, it was illegal to sell opium in Britain itself, at the time.

Answer 3

From my readings, the Opium Wars involved many nations but the main participants were China and Great Britain. So the Answer from our choices is "A".

Answer 4

The answer is A. The Opium wars involved the British and the Chinese. Enforcing restrictions on the sale of Opium, the Chinese government refused any methods of trade of opium to any country. As a result, the British smuggled Opium from China to British Colonial India. Tensions grew between both countries when the smuggling was discovered and as a result the Opium War occured. The Chinese who lost the war were forced into tolerating the sale of Opium, as indicated in the the treaty of Nanking and tearty of Tianjing. Humilated and agitated at the loss of war and the continuing sales, the Boxer Rebeliion and the Taiping Rebellion ocurred.
