What caused the Second Opium War?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

What caused the Second Opium War were the harsh treaties imposed after the First Opium War.

Explanation:

The Second Opium War was an armed conflict between Great Britain and France, on the one hand, and the Qing Dynasty of China, on the other.

Both the French agreement known as the Huangpu Treaty and the US pact called the Wangxia Treaty, signed after the First Opium War, contained clauses that allowed the renegotiation of these treaties after twelve years. In an effort to expand its territories in China, the United Kingdom asked the authorities of the Qing dynasty to renegotiate what was agreed in the Treaty of Nanking, in 1842.

The British demands included that they could exercise free trade throughout China, legalize the commercialization of opium, abolish taxes on foreigners for internal transit, suppress piracy, regulate the traffic of coolies (semi-slave workers) and allow the British ambassador to reside in Beijing, among other things. The court of the Qing rejected the demands presented by the United Kingdom, France and the United States.

Because of this, a coalition was formed, with the aim of pressuring the Qing to sign those pacts.

Do you think that the sectional conflict was an irrepressible conflict or do you think it was the work of bungling politicians,
harkovskaia [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question does not have any further references or attachments, we can say that the sectional conflict was a combination of an irrepressible conflict with the work of bungling politicians, fanatics, and agitators.

Before the Civil War, there were many incidents, events, and decisions that create more separation in the views of the northerners and southerners. In the North, the idea of abolitionism was supported by most states, while in the South, slavery was an important part of the economy. Indeed, southern states depended on slaves to produce the crops in large plantations. These crops had to be exported to Europe.

The Missouri Compromise or the Kansas-Nebraska Act was the product of different points of view from legislators trying to fix things until the problems too many that made seven states seceded from the Union, and later, the beginning of the Civil War.
