Answer:

Europeans forced the Chinese to sign it, ending the first Opium War.

Explanation:

The first opium war is also known as the Anglo-Chinese War and the war was between Great Britain and China. The government officials in china banned opium trade and threatened to kill anyone that involve in the illegal trade.

<em><u>The significance of the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842 was that Europeans forced the Chinese to sign it, ending the first Opium War. </u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

Further Explanations:

The “Treaty of Nanjing” was the last treaty of the Opium war that marked the end of the war. It was signed amid Britain and China on 29th August 1842. The treaty comprises 13 clauses being ratified by the Daoguang Emperor on 27th October of which one copy was given to the British government and another to the Department of Foreign concerns of the Republic of China.

The whole conflict started when the government in china banned Opium trade and threatened to execute the culprit involved in the illegal trade. Most of the trade through Opium was under British control and they took it as a threat by Chinese that initiated the conflict amid the British and the Chinese.

The treaty led to the institution of the Crown society of “Hong Kong” which was in the authority of Britain until 1997. The formation of Hong Kong” and the intercontinental zone in Shanghai was a major development of the British policy.
