Answer 2

Explanation:

The Opium Wars were two wars which were waged between the Great Qing and the British Government in the mid-19th century, triggered by the British government's imposition of the opium trade upon China. The resulting concession of Hong Kong compromised China's territorial sovereignty.The clashes included the First Opium War (1839–1842), with the British naval forces, and the Second Opium War (1856–1860), also known as the Arrow or Anglo-French Wars by the Chinese (because Britain was aided by French forces). The wars and the subsequently-imposed treaties weakened the Qing dynasty and Chinese governments, and forced China to open specified treaty ports (especially Shanghai and Canton) that handled all trade with imperial powers.
