The Opium Wars

The Opium Wars. I found this to be one of the funniest times in history. Because no matter where you go everybody says "don't do drugs" or "drugs are bad for you." But yet the British were one of the biggest drug traders and smugglers since Frank Lucas. The British traded Opium witch is a narcotic that can be smoked or injected like Heroin. They traded it for millions of pounds of tea.
Back to the wars. The Opium Wars started when Britain refused to stop trade Opium to China. The Chinese Emperor was very angry with this because Opium was forbidden in Britain but they let it go in other countries very quickly. Over 12 million Chinese people were addicted to Opium. So China declared war on Britain. But they lost because of China's lack of technology and old boats. The seconded war was in 1856. This war acceded because the term of the Treaty of Tientsin. Britain and France defeated China yet again.
