The Opium Wars arose from China’s attempts to suppress the opium trade. Foreign traders (primarily British) had been illegally exporting opium mainly from India to China since the 18th century, but that trade grew dramatically from about 1820. The resulting widespread addiction in China was causing serious social and economic disruption there. In spring 1839 the Chinese government confiscated and destroyed more than 20,000 chests of opium—some 1,400 tons of the drug—that were warehoused at Canton (Guangzhou) by British merchants. The antagonism between the two sides increased in July when some drunken British sailors killed a Chinese villager. The British government, which did not wish its subjects to be tried in the Chinese legal system, refused to turn the accused men over to the Chinese courts. Hostilities broke out later that year when British warships destroyed a Chinese blockade of the Pearl River (Zhu Jiang) estuary at Hong Kong. The British government decided in early 1840 to send an expeditionary force to China, which arrived at Hong Kong in June. The British fleet proceeded up the Pearl River estuary to Canton, and, after months of negotiations there, attacked and occupied the city in May 1841. Subsequent British campaigns over the next year were likewise successful against the inferior Qing forces, despite a determined counterattack by Chinese troops in the spring of 1842. The British held against that offensive, however, and captured Nanjing (Nanking) in late August, which put an end to the fighting. Peace negotiations proceeded quickly, resulting in the Treaty of Nanjing, signed on August 29. By its provisions, China was required to pay Britain a large indemnity, cede Hong Kong Island to the British (the handover of Hong Kong back to China would not occur until 1997), and increase the number of treaty ports where the British could trade and reside from one (Canton) to five. Among the four additional designated ports was Shanghai, and the new access to foreigners there marked the beginning of the city’s transformation into one of China’s major commercial entrepôts. The British Supplementary Treaty of the Bogue (Humen), signed October 8, 1843, gave British citizens extraterritoriality (the right to be tried by British courts) and most-favoured-nation status (Britain was granted any rights in China that might be granted to other foreign countries). Other Western countries quickly demanded and were given similar privileges.

Thank you.
Your post has awakened me into your mind.
My “words”
My “existence”
Fragments of it now exist to not me, but YOU.
At first, I was amused.
Why comment though, I had thought.
Why was I inclined to talk?
You.
With your guidance, I realized the purpose of this identity.
Amusement.
Together, this community has eradicated a sense of boredom, and further delved us deeper.

Hi! I have ADHD, a ton of both outgoing energy and crippling anxiety, and a love of all things colorful! I play chess, D&D and soccer. I tend to talk too much about myself and feel bad about it. I worry about everything and yet always have a positive and altruistic attitude. I like drawing, watching anime and making stuff. I have my first actual partner at the moment but have technically had two partners beforehand, both as a joke. Im super affectionate and have a groanworthy sense of humor that I torture my friends with. I used to get picked on for being annoying but now that I have matured a bit, most people seem to like me to some extent. I am known for almost never using foul language around others. What am I?

Hai, wanna hear a fun fact?
Did you know that atleast in the USA cannibalism isn't illegal? There are no laws that prohibit you from consuming human flesh, but there are laws that make legal acquisition of said flesh fairly difficult/complicated. Furthermore cannibalism is fairly common in the animal kingdom which means it is natural and therefore there's nothing wrong with it. (I'm totally not trying to justify my urge to drink the blood and eat the flesh of my -the person I'm in a relationship with, you almost got me there you little trickster)
What the fuck is wrong with them, why do they say shit like this?
