The Opium War
The British was involved in the 19th century, China did not want them to get involved so they tried to stop them. The war started in 1839 and ended in 1842

The China Tea Trade
China wanted Opium so they were trading tea for it with India and the British

INDIA

• India had high amounts of opium
• So it caught China and Britain's attention
• Countries wanted to trade with them
• Opium was a very addicting
• So it made lots of money and when traded came with good results

China's response to opium imports
Their response was semi negative before they found out that opium could save their economy. China's economy was dangerously bad opium could have raised money for china so their response was to get as much opium as they could possibly get.

Britain's Response
Britain saw that opium was a very addicting drug and thought if they could sell it how much money would they be able to get, so China and Britain sorta had the same idea expect one needed it more than other did.
