Question

Why did European powers intervene in China in the late 1800s

Answer 1

Answer:

Britain led the charge to expand trade in China, with the Opium Wars. By the early 1800s, Britain was illegally smuggling cheap opium from India into Chinese ports. Despite China's outlawing of the drug, Chinese purchased it from the British in exchange for goods like silver, porcelain and tea.
