<span>If the Confederates had a strong support coming from Europe, the war could have turned into their favor. The Confederates were outclassed industrially and militarily by the Union. This led to their defeat in 1864. England and France have shown interest to join the American war, on the Confederates’ side, but it never materialized.</span>
Answer:
When the thirteen colonies were fighting for their independence from the British Kingdom, in 1775, the Second Continental Congress was the political organization that represented the revel states. Anyway, the Second Continental Congress created the Continental Army as a way to connect and merge the armies from all the states, so they could defeat the British forces. However, the Continental Army did NOT have excellent quality and quantity of equipment, because the States did not agree on how much each one had to pay. The lack of supplies and equipment demoralized the troops and was a big problem for the U.S. Army.
The British had attacked China in the Opium War because China had terminated trade of opium from the British and burned all opium they could find in China. The British saw this as a form of aggression and therefore sent their troops.
The problem first rooted with tea (that was a pun :D). The British wanted tea and China had tea, but China wanted silver. Eventually, the British decided to buy the tea and sold China opium instead. This went well at first until China saw the effect opium had on their civilians. So China banned it, and burned any speck of opium. This got back to the British and they sent their troops.
Hope this helps!
