Answer:

The Second Opium War was a war of aggression against China jointly launched by Britain and France from October 1856 to October 1860 with the support of the United States and Russia. The purpose is for Britain and France to further open up the Chinese market and expand their aggressive interests in China. Because Britain and France launched wars under the pretext of the Yarrow Incident and the Horse Priest Incident respectively, it was called "The Arrow War" by the British. Also known as the Anglo-French expedition to China or the Second Anglo-Chinese War. At the same time, because this war can be seen as the continuation and expansion of the First Opium War (the essential purpose of the two wars is the same), it is also called the "Second Opium War".

In 1860, the Anglo-French army invaded Beijing, the Qing Emperor fled to Chengde, and the Anglo-French army broke into the Yuanmingyuan and plundered the jewelry and burned it. After the war, Tsarist Russia claimed to be "mediating and meritorious" after sending troops, and coerced the Qing government to cede more than 1.5 million square kilometers of territory, thus becoming the biggest winner. The war ended with the Qing government being forced to sign the Treaty of Beijing

Please help me write a letter.

bixtya [17]

We want a special letter! This means we need a special way of writing this. Since you love English we will have words that show you are VERY passionate about English and that it is your favorite!!!!

Introduction/Beginning of Body:

*Start easy, don't sugar-coat or be "extra", be truthful and show how you feel, try to add some humor to make it enjoyable to read, the transition into the body paragraph should not be sudden either, try to reveal parts of your life and who you are, and remember; DON'T BE AFRAID TO REVEAL MISTAKES and negative traits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Example: "English is one of the VERY few classes I truly love and look forward to every day. Now, I may not be the greatest student...but I assure you, I have plenty of qualities that will blow any door off it's hinges! English started out as one of my least favorites, I hated all those words and sentences, they just fried my brain! As I became older, I realized the importance of English, not to mention I started reading books; piles of them!"

*remember, in this process, reveal a little about your life, don't be too blunt or sudden though, keep it smooth*

Body:

*Reveal parts about yourself, try including why these things make you who you are, and why it helps you in English class/Why it makes you the best student to have around, remember, teachers look for trustworthy students*

Conclusion:

*Wrap it up, try to add some humor, repeat bits of your introduction and what makes you the best student in her class, make sure you are confident in your writing, and yes, believe it or not, confidence can be expressed in one's writing, it is quite evident*

At the end, review, make sure it fits her criteria, and voila!

If you'd like; and aren't going to write anything personal, you can take a picture of your final letter and post a question on Brainly asking for a review, in that case, you can comment on this answer and I will check it out for you!

I hope this makes your day easier,

Good luck and have a great day!

Cheers,

What did English rulers realize that the colonies could provide for them? Give examples.

svp [43]

As for material wise, the English realized that the American Colonies could provide a stable stream of funds that relied on the production, refining, and sale of many different supplies and crops. Such examples would be Tobacco, Sugar (not 100% on this one), and Cotton (later on). Other products that could be produced in the Americas were whale oil and seafood. As for influence, the English noticed that they could claim large parts of Unclaimed (and sometimes claimed, which they woukd fight for) North America such as parts of Canada and almost the entire East Coats in order to spread the influence of the Crown further throughout the world. It was also a power struggle fight between Britain, France, and Spain, which was another reason for the colonies.
