Answer:

Opium.

Explanation:

The Opium War (1839-1842) was a military conflict fought between Qing China and the United Kingdom. Great Britain was a major buyer of Chinese luxury goods, such as silk and tea, while British exports to China were comparatively minor. This created a major trade deficit for the British, who also had to pay for the Chinese goods with silver. <u>In order to counter the trade imbalance, the British smuggled opium from India into China</u>. When the Chinese government acted against the opium trade, Britain responded with force. British victory on the war forced the Chinese to sign the Treaty of Nanking, which opened its ports to British trade and ceded Hong Kong to the British crown.

Suffrage means _________________________.
belka [17]
Suffrage means THAT ALL ADULT MEN AND WOMEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

Initially, only men were allowed to vote. This was because the society in the earlier times were dominated by males as a figure of authority. It was believed that women were naturally inferior to men and that they are subjected under the rule of men. However, in later years, women's civil rights were recognized and they were also given the right to vote and run for electoral office.
