The British attacked china in the Opium War (1839-1842) because?

History

Illusion [34]3 years ago

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!

While some historians explain the end of slavery in the americas throughout the nineteenth century as a response to the antislav
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Britain needed to resolve a conflict between the principles of free trade (which Britain was more and more adopting) and the institution of slavery.

Concerns about slave revolts indeed were indeed part of Britain's pragmatic decisions to end its participation in the slave trade in 1807 and phasing out slavery in its empire starting in 1834.  But the other factor was that the Industrial Revolution was taking over how the British economy operated, and the institution of slavery no longer fit within the new, industrializing economy.  

Along with those practical reasons, there was of course much moral pressure applied by the abolitionist movement.  William Wilberforce was a key voice of conscience in Parliament from the moral side of the argument.
