Answer and Explanation:
1. Because the "shot" represents a battle that echoed around the world, influencing battles elsewhere in the world, or involving several countries in the same battle. This is because this "shot" refers to the American revolution, which inspired other colonial territories to fight for independence. This "shot" may also represent the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, who started the second world war that involved several countries and even created the basis for the second world war.
2. The American revolution showed that it was possible for a colony to come into conflict with the country that dominated it and win by becoming independent. This inspired colonies across the European, African and Asian continents to fight for their freedoms, even though it seemed unlikely that they would win.
3. Because this was a simple, but very impressive way to show the importance of the battles of the American revolution to the whole world.
Correct items that apply:
- The British gained control of Hong Kong.
- British citizens were granted immunity from Chinese laws.
- Chinese would pay the British for losses in the war.
- China would open five ports for foreign trade.
So, the only incorrect item in that list was "The British lost to the Chinese." The British did not lose -- they won and imposed the various conditions listed above.
<u>Further context/detail on the First Opium War (1839-1842)</u>
Britain had been trying to gain trade access to China as part of its imperial ambitions. They found a product they could get Chinese people to buy -- the drug, opium. The Chinese government vehemently opposed this illegal trading the British were carrying on, and the First Opium War resulted. The British won and imposed the Treaty of Nanking on China in 1842, which compelled China to open its doors more widely to foreign trade. The United States followed up in 1844 with The Treaty of Wangxia, which gave the US access to trade in China.
From 1850 to 1860, conflict continued between the British and the Chinese in the Second Opium War, again with Britain prevailing and forcing China to open trade rules still further.
