The signing of treaty of nanking:1In the first half of the 9th century, Britain became the most powerful capitalist country in the world. In order to open up foreign markets, promote industrial products, and snatch cheap industrial raw materials, Britain targeted its aggression at China. At that time, it was difficult for Britain to sell woolen cloth and cloth exported to China. Instead, it had to buy a lot of tea, raw silk and porcelain from China. In the normal trade between China and Britain, a large amount of silver flows into China. This is obviously not in line with the interests of the British bourgeoisie. Later, in order to make huge profits, just as China smuggled opium, a large amount of silver flowed into Britain, which aggravated China's poverty and weakness. At the same time, opium seriously damaged the victims' physique. In a word, opium smuggling has brought a serious disaster to China. 1840, Britain launched the opium war on the pretext of "destroying opium in Humen", 1842, and signed the Sino-British "treaty of nanking" which humiliated China and Britain. After the Opium War, China gradually became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.
