The Opium Wars were two minor wars fought between China and Great Britain (primarily) over the opium trade in China. They took place during the middle of the 1800s near the end of the Qing Dynasty. Some historians consider the Opium Wars to be the start of the modern era in China.

After winning the war, the British forced the Chinese to sign the Treaty of Ranking. The treaty reestablished trade between the countries and opened up five trade ports to Britain. It also forced China to pay $21 million in reparations and gave Britain control of the city of Hong Kong

At the Convention of Peking in 1860, the Chinese agreed to sign a treaty with Britain and France. The treaty legalized the opium trade, established freedom of religion in China, forced China to pay France and Britain reparations, and opened a new trade port.

Explanation:

With the end of World War II, Korea became divided into northern and southern halves when the northern territory of Korea was occupied by the Soviet Union and the south by the United States.

As tensions grew after the declaration of the Soviet–Japanese War, the 38th Parallel was demarcated to draw a boundary between North and South Korea as the two sides had many differences. The war between the two sides finally ended in 1953 after an armistice.
