The main cause of the armed conflict between Great Britain and China was related to the trade of Opium. China tried several times to stop illegal commercialization of the drug by foreign traders, among which the British played a key role.

Confrontations rose as both nations took retaliation against each other. China destroyed a large opium cargo stored in a warehouse, causing a growth of antagonism. These wars are known as 'Opium Wars'.

The cause of the armed conflict between Great Britain and China was that Great Britain refused to stop selling opium in China.

It was called the First Opium War, also called the Anglo-Chinese War or the Opium War. This conflict between China (the Qing dynasty) and Great Britain focused around the port of Canton and was a series of military arrangements fought between these two countries. Their main conflicts were that they had different perspectives on trade, diplomatic relations and the administration of justice in China.

The colossal heads are the most recognized symbol of the Mayan culture. True or False
kupik [55]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

The colossal heads are large basalt carvings in the form of human heads. These sculptures were built by the Olmec civilization, which lived in southern Mexico about 900 years before Christ. The sculptures were found by archaeologists and were buried in the region of Mesoamerica. Therefore, the sculptures have no relation with the Mayan civilization. The Mayan civilization lived in the Andes, where today is Peru.
