Answer 1

Answer 2

Explanation:

Opium Wars are the two armed conflicts in China in the mid-19th century between the forces of western countries and Quing dynasty. The first Opium War (1839-42) was fought between China and Britain, and the second Opium War (1856-60) also known as Arrow War, was fought by Britain and France against China. In both wars foreign powers were victorious and gained some priviliges and consessions in China. The conflicts marked the unequal treaties on Quing Sovereignty that helped weaken and topple the dynasty in favour of republican China in the start of 20th century.
