The Opium Wars (Encore)

Everything Everywhere Daily
About
In the 19th century, the British and the Chinese went to war on two separate occasions—the reasons why they went to war are both simple and complicated. 
The more complicated reason has to do with the trade policies of the British Empire and centuries-old entrenched attitudes on the part of the Qing dynasty. 
The simple reason had to do with pushing drugs as a matter of national policy. 
Learn more about the Opium Wars, why Britain and China went to war, and how it affected the future of China on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
