The First Opium War

The First Opium War

Throughout the nineteenth century, China possessed a superior view of itself when compared to Western countries.  China was able to support itself; and it did not look to other countries for trading or diplomatic relations.  Earlier than the nineteenth century it had to defend itself from other countries that were looking to settle into the land to make a profit in trading. For example, England and the East India Company played a big role in China's trading policies during this time period. Britain forced the importation of opium into China even though the Chinese did not want this.   China was forced to acknowledge other countries and deal with diplomatic relations due to the events that led to the Opium War.  The first Opium War was caused by the unequal trading between China and England resulting in England imposing the trading of opium upon China, and a final outcome of the Opium War was that China is forced to have diplomatic relations with other countries rather than keep to itself.
	In the early nineteenth century England traded with China through the East India Company.  Woolen and metal products were traded for silks and more importantly tea.
