Answer:
The Opium War, usually the Opium War refers to the First Opium War, which the British often refer to as the First Sino-British War or "Trade War", which was an unjust war of aggression launched by Britain against China from 1840 to 1842, and also the beginning of China's modern history of humiliation.
In 1840 (the twentieth year of Daoguang), the British government decided to send an expeditionary force to invade China under the pretext of Lin Zexu's Humen tobacco sales. In June 1840, 47 British ships and 4,000 army personnel, led by Rear Admiral George Yilu and Yi Lu, the commercial supervisor in China, arrived outside the mouth of the Pearl River in Guangdong province, blockaded Haikou, and the Opium War began.
The Opium War ended with China's defeat and the cession of land in reparations. China and Britain signed the Treaty of Nanking, the first unequal treaty in Chinese history. China began to cede land, pay indemnities, and agree on tariffs to foreign countries, which seriously endangered China's sovereignty, began to degenerate into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, lost its independent and autonomous status, and promoted the disintegration of the small-scale peasant economy. At the same time, the Opium War also opened a new chapter in the history of the resistance of the Chinese people to foreign aggression in modern times.

With the passing of this act, the south had to pay higher prices for the goods they did not manufacture and at the same time they had problems to sell their good (cotton) to their main buyer, Great Britain.
2) The South Carolina politician that became known as the “Father of Nullification” was “John C. Calhoun”. John C. Calhoun was a Southern politician that strongly disagreed with the tariff act of 1828 and advocated for its nullification. At the time of the passing of the act John C. Calhoun was the US vice president.
3) The Nullification Crisis ended when the “Congress” passed a bill to “reduce” the tariff. In 1833 the congress passed the “Compromise Tariff of 1833” and this ended the Nullification Crisis as South Carolina accepted the act.
