Despite the opium outlaw, the British continued to bring the drug into China. This resulted in the Opium Wars which lasted from 1839-1842. The possibility of war was threatened by Lin (leader of China) during the early 1830's when he wrote a letter to Queen Victoria. However, Britain did not see this as a threat and ended up easily defeating the Chinese due to their strong naval forces. The Treaty of Nanjing ends the Opium Wars and results in China losing Hong Kong.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The funds where diverted

Explanation:

The major problem with the international aid which was sent to Yemen in the 1990s is basically that the aid sent was not properly used to better the lives of its citizens,that is the funds where diverted and distributed majorly among those that had a certain connection to the government this caused and uproar in the country at the time.

Although there have been attempts to restructure the economy with the assistance of international agencies, Yemen's economy remains underdeveloped and appears ready to collapse under the burden of unemployment, poverty, and rapid population growth.
