Opium Wars, two armed conflicts in China in the mid-19th century between the forces of Western countries and of the Qing dynasty, which ruled China from 1644 to 1911/12. The first Opium War (1839–42) was fought between China and Britain, and the second Opium War (1856–60), also known as the Arrow War or the Anglo-French War in China, was fought by Britain and France against China. In each case the foreign powers were victorious and gained commercial privileges and legal and territorial concessions in China. The conflicts marked the start of the era of unequal treaties and other inroads on Qing sovereignty that helped weaken and ultimately topple the dynasty in favour of republican China in the early 20th century.

Also known as the Anglo-Chinese War, it was a series of military clashes that occurred between Great Britain and the Chinese ruling Qing dynasty. Chinese officials took strict measures against the opium trade and threatened those who violated it with the death penalty, which caused heavy losses to the British government, as the British were the most prominent suppliers of opium narcotic to China and since they were much stronger militarily, they defeated the Chinese and imposed sanctions that granted the major Western countries privileges. Especially commercial in China

Britain won the war

Which late 1940s event prompted the United States to take steps to protect itself from Soviet espionage? the detonation of a bom
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

the detonation of a bomb on Russian soil.

In 1949, the Americans were astonished to see that the U.S.S.R. had detonated their own atomic bomb (as a test) on their grounds. It had been only 4 years since the detonation of the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and they considered it could not be sufficient time to develop the atomic bomb by themselves. Suspicion of espionage was their main option. Time proved them right. Nearly a dozen Soviet spies were convicted of passing information to the Soviets during this period about the atomic bomb in what was called the "Manhattan Project", the most famous spy being Emil Julius Klaus Fuchs. After this experience, the United States began to invest a large quantity of money in protecting their secret projects and fighting espionage.
