Which country was involved in the Opium Wars with England? 🔊
The country involved in the Opium Wars with England was China. These conflicts occurred in the mid-19th century, primarily over the trade of opium, which the British were exporting to China. The first Opium War (1839-1842) resulted in the Treaty of Nanking, which ceded Hong Kong to Britain and opened up several ports for British trade. The second Opium War (1856-1860) further extended foreign influence in China. These wars significantly weakened the Qing Dynasty and highlighted China's vulnerability to Western imperialism, leading to a series of unequal treaties.
