In 610 CE, the prophet Muhammad has a vision that ultimately led to the creation of Islam. However, when Muhammad died in 632 CE, people disagreed over who should succeed him as caliph. The Sunnis believed that Abu Bakr (his successor) was the right choice, which the Shiites disagreed, believing that the next caliph should've been Ali, Muhammad's brother in law. Still to this day, there is a definite split, and while they both have the same fundamental beliefs, neither get along well. This issue is especially prevalent in the Middle East where the majority of people are Sunnis, however the Shiites do not want them to hold power, so rebellion occurs. Likewise, when the Shiites gain power, the Sunnis rebel. The terrorist group ISIS is technically fighting for the Sunnis, however it is important to note that they practice a very radical form and do not represent the beliefs of most Muslims.

Explanation:
Because the trade with China was an isolationist nation which saw Western ideas as problematic for the current state of their nation, because Western nations did not possess anything of value to exchange, they began to look for different methods, among them the sale of drugs and addictives to the population. By 1839, opium stocked by the United States, the United Kingdom, and France had reached the isolated peasants and the workers spent 2/3 of their profits to maintain their addiction.
Before this, the Chinese emperor banned opium and expelled the British merchants, who upon arriving in London complained to the British government, which decided to attack China with its powerful fleet to force it to buy opium cultivated in British India.
