What was the cause of the armed conflict between Great Britain and China in 1840 that was focused around port of canton

History

Kay [80]3 years ago

Because the trade with China was an isolationist nation which saw Western ideas as problematic for the current state of their nation, because Western nations did not possess anything of value to exchange, they began to look for different methods, among them the sale of drugs and addictives to the population. By 1839, opium stocked by the United States, the United Kingdom, and France had reached the isolated peasants and the workers spent 2/3 of their profits to maintain their addiction.

Before this, the Chinese emperor banned opium and expelled the British merchants, who upon arriving in London complained to the British government, which decided to attack China with its powerful fleet to force it to buy opium cultivated in British India.

Who did the Athenian phalanxes defeat at the Battle of Marathon?
Luden [163]
Hey there!
The Battle Of Marathon was an intense battle of the Greco-Persian wars that was about sacrifice and never giving up.
The Greeks, as always, had a smart plan. They fought on a thin, hard to fit through mountain pass and they used phalanxes and defeated the Persian Hoplites and Immortals. They thought they had victory, but eventually, the way around the pass was given to King Xerxes of Persia by a Greek traitor and the Persians one.

I need help writing an essay on whether Andrew Jackson should or shouldn't be on the 20 dollar bill. Can anyone help me please?
uysha [10]
In 1830, Jackson ignored a Supreme Court ruling to sign into law the Indian Removal Act, forcing native people to lands in the West, away from their homes east of the Mississippi river.

The reason: Gold.

Gold had been found on Cherokee land, and Jackson wanted it. The president’s excuse for removal – claiming the Cherokees had violated the constitution by declaring their own state without approval – was a smokescreen.
The native Americans were eventually forced to march 800 miles west. From the 47,000 southeastern Indians that were uprooted, it is estimated that 1 in 4 died from either exhaustion or starvation on what is now called The Trail of Tears. Jackson acquired more than one hundred million acres of land.

The Indian Removal Act was genocide.

Andrew Jackson should not be on the $20 bill I have many more reason but that’s the biggest.
