The influence of the two Opium Wars on China;

The first opium war broke out in 1840 to 1842. The first Opium War was also called the first Sino-British War. 1856 to 1860, the second opium war broke out, which was essentially a continuation of the first opium war and further deepened the semi-colonization of China.

Because of China's thought of "closing the country to the outside world", the Qing Dynasty was in a backward position in the world. In order to open the door to China's foreign trade, Britain began to import a large number of opium from China.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, China imported more than 4,000 boxes of opium. Due to the continuous importation of opium, opium poisoning has occurred in China. More and more people take opium and are eroded by it.

At that time, a large amount of silver flowed out of China, and the users suffered great physical and mental damage. At the same time, it also destroyed the social productive forces in China, and caused the industrial and commercial economic depression in some areas of the Qing government. Therefore, the Qing government had to take measures to ban opium smoking.

1In June of 839, Lin Zexu, an imperial envoy of the Qing Dynasty, launched a campaign to ban smoking, and Guangzhou immediately boiled. After making all preparations, he immediately ordered foreign businessmen to hand over all opium. Under the strict requirements of Lin Zexu, the opium merchants had to hand over opium. The anti-smoking campaign seized more than 3 million Jin of opium. Lin Zexu immediately ordered the destruction of opium in Humen, which is the famous destruction of opium in Humen.

During the six-year Opium War, because China was in a backward state, the Qing government was forced to sign many unequal treaties. The first Opium War signed China's first unequal treaty, treaty of nanking. Since then, the Qing government began to cede land and pay reparations, forcing China to lose a large territory.

In the Second Opium War, also known as the battle between British and French allied forces or the Second Sino-British War, the Qing government suffered about 200,000 casualties. The war ended in failure because of the corruption of the Qing government. After the war, China was forced to lose1.5000 people in the northeast and northwest regions by signing treaties such as Tianjin Treaty, Beijing Treaty and Sino-Russian Aihui Treaty.

In this battle, the British and French allied forces looted and burned the Yuanmingyuan in Beijing, destroying the Yuanmingyuan, which integrated Chinese and foreign architectural features. Before the war, China was an independent, closed and self-sufficient country. After the war, China's sovereignty was seriously violated. Trade with the outside world has greatly affected China's sovereignty.
