Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the Opium Wars waged between Britain and China from 1839 to 1842. It discusses the genesis of the conflict, rooted in Britain's rampant opium trade with China in defiance of Chinese law. The author analyzes the ensuing British military actions against China, which resulted in the unjust Treaty of Nanking that forced China to cede Hong Kong to Britain and pay reparations for the destroyed opium. The book delves into the historical context of European aggression against China, highlighting Britain's economic and territorial motivations. It examines the broader themes of colonialism, imperialism, and the clash between Western powers and non-Western civilizations. Through a detailed examination of events and primary sources, this book offers a nuanced understanding of a pivotal conflict that shaped Sino-Western relations and the course of history in Asia.
