The Opium Wars

The Opium wars were against the British and the Chinese. These wars started because the chinese were too stubborn to accept any of the resources the British had to offer. The British introduced the Chinese with Opium. A plant that was used to make heroine. The Chinese became addicted and had no choice but to accept the treaty with the British. The British won these wars (obviously) because the british were more powerful in technology than the chinese.
