I would say Social/Religious causes. He is promoting the "Britons" as a benefit to all of humanity even to the point that he is justifying the taking of other's lands. He does not say anything about economic benefits to these people or political benefits, merely that Britons are honorable so they deserve it.

What was a result of China being forced to accept opium as payment from Britain for natural resources?
choli [55]

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.


<h2>so technically its A</h2><h2>an opium addiction occurred in China</h2><h2>because the Opium got very addictive</h2>

What do people who followed the ideals of socialism in the 1800s believe about wealth?​
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The term “socialism” has been applied to very different economic and political systems throughout history, including utopianism, anarchism, Soviet communism and social democracy. These systems vary widely in structure, but they share an opposition to an unrestricted market economy, and the belief that public ownership of the means of production (and making money) will lead to better distribution of wealth and a more egalitarian society.
