The Opium Wars

The Opium Wars is result of an argument from the Chinese and the english.  What happened was is that the english were looking for something to sell to the chinese that the chinese didn't have.  So after a long time the english figured out that the chinese didn't occupy Opium.  the english offered the chinese Opium as a trade entrance ad the chinese accepted.  After a while the chinese started to realize that Opium was a very bad drug for people and people started to die because of overdose and other reasons that had to do with the drug.  The chinese realized that the drug was not only health-bad, but it was also bad in the sense that it was affecting chinas social, political, and cultural way of living.  The Chinese told the english that they did not want to buy that product anymore but seeming how the english needed chinas resources the english refused to stop trading it with the chinese until the english and the chinese had a war called the Opium War.  In this war the english won so easily they got what they wanted; the reason the english won was not because they had a vast army, but because the war was on water and the english had a very strong navy force due to their technological military advances.  Their boats were of black steel while the chinese boats were of wood.  In conclusion the english came to a truce with chine but still the english won the Opium War.
