Britain influenced China by establishing a British government in Hong Kong, in its quest for opium and fine products from Asia. Great Britain and some European countries began the trade of opium paying with gold for this one, since the European products had a low demand in China; this was part of the trade imbalance with China. There was a huge demand in Europe for Chinese tea, silks and porcelain pottery, which led to two wars, called the Opium Wars, in which China lost and had to accept the terms of Europe, while its population began to become addicted to opium. The British way of life and the addiction to opium, plus intervention in the Chinese government, only ended with the arrival of the Communists.
An indentured servent and a school master
The murder in the town of Serajevo (at that time in Serbia and today in Bosnia) of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria (heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) by a serbian natioalist (Gavrilo Princip). This act set in motion a chain reaction of declarations of war between European nations.
Austria declared war on Serbia but Russia supported Serbia and came to help against Austria. Germany had to help Austria against Russia but France, worried about the German intervention, declared war so that Germany invaded Belgium and Holland (neutral) to bypass the Maginot Line (a chain of fortified stronghold on the border of France with Germany) to try to reach Paris. At this point England intervened to help France and declared war as well.
