History

Answer:

The Opium War, usually the Opium War refers to the First Opium War, which the British often refer to as the First Sino-British War or "Trade War", which was an unjust war of aggression launched by Britain against China from 1840 to 1842, and also the beginning of China's modern history of humiliation.

In 1840 (the twentieth year of Daoguang), the British government decided to send an expeditionary force to invade China under the pretext of Lin Zexu's Humen tobacco sales. In June 1840, 47 British ships and 4,000 army personnel, led by Rear Admiral George Yilu and Yi Lu, the commercial supervisor in China, arrived outside the mouth of the Pearl River in Guangdong province, blockaded Haikou, and the Opium War began.

The Opium War ended with China's defeat and the cession of land in reparations. China and Britain signed the Treaty of Nanking, the first unequal treaty in Chinese history. China began to cede land, pay indemnities, and agree on tariffs to foreign countries, which seriously endangered China's sovereignty, began to degenerate into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, lost its independent and autonomous status, and promoted the disintegration of the small-scale peasant economy. At the same time, the Opium War also opened a new chapter in the history of the resistance of the Chinese people to foreign aggression in modern times.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Here is an answer in my own words.

It was basically a war between china and the west that was basically europe illegally importing opium into china and making a profit off of it. This lead to many people in China becoming addicted to opium which of course the chinese didn't want. Because of this they had a guy try and stop western importing but it ended up provoking the west and lead to wars which china lost. (this is very simplified)

Match each outcome with a weakness of the Articles of Confederation.
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Congress was not given any power to tax the people

No taxes=no money to run the country

2. Congress had no power to enforce its own laws in the states

No enforcement=people in various states doing what they want

3. Congress could not make states follow trade agreements with other nations

Bad trading relations with other counties = no international trade

4. Congress could not regulate trade between the states.

High trading taxes between states = difficulty trading goods = slow business = lost jobs

5. Citizens in states thought their property rights were being violated

Violated property rights = need for national government to check the states

6. There was no national court system

No national court system = different systems by state = confusion in the justice system Interstate issues would have no courts to go to on the federal level No means of checking the laws of the legislature

7. There was no executive branch for the central government

This means there was no President or party responsible for enforcing laws; no authority behind the laws There was no figure head for the government No means of checking the policies created by the legislature (what happens when all power is in one branch of government?)

8. It required a unanimous vote to make changes to the Articles

This made it very difficult to make any changes to the Articles

9. Many farmers lost their farms and homes; some were even put in prison As a result, local farmers, led by Daniel Shays decided to rebel by shutting down the courts using force - they even raided a federal arsenal to take weapons for their rebellion

The purpose of this meeting was "for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation"...but they ended up creating a new U.S. Constitution.
