1 Opium Wars IMPERIALISM IN CHINA
2 Relations with China China refused to adapt to Western Culture History of isolation Isolated by jungles, mountains and desert Middle Kingdom = Ethnocentric Ethnocentrism Belief that your culture is better than all others
3 Relations with China The Chinese saw themselves as self-sufficient..therefore: They had little interest in the west They had: healthy agricultural economy mining (natural resources) provided jobs manufacturing silk, cotton, and porcelain
4 Relations with China Europeans didn t like the fact that they couldn t trade with China WHY?? British had a trade deficit with China They were importing more goods from China than exporting to them
5 Relations with China Britain had to pay China with silver for the difference between its imports tea, silk, and porcelain and its exports cotton Qing dynasty made it illegal to pay for export goods in anything but silver
6 Relations with China Europeans nations saw the market potential of China (300 million people) Hmm What would the Chinese people be willing to trade for? What product would they want that they didn t have? OPIUM
7 Opium To solve the problem England turned India into poppy fields which could be reaped for Opium for illegal sale to the Chinese Opium was used recreationally in China starting in the 15 th Century but was prohibited in 1729 British start to smuggle opium from India into China Silver was flowing into the hands of the British
8 But what is Opium?????? Opium: a reddish-brown heavy-scented addictive drug prepared from the juice of the opium poppy, used as a narcotic Effects: Euphoria, relaxation, reduced anxiety, sleepiness, reduced energy, loss of appetite, impaired vision, coma, or death Highly addictive
9
10 Opium British smuggled opium into China for nonmedical use and by 1835, as many as 12 million Chinese people were addicted to the drug In the 19 th century, Opium addiction spread rapidly among Chinese government employees and soldiers. Historians blame the drug for a decline in China s standard of living and for the deterioration of public services, which eventually led to massive peasant uprisings during the mid-1800s
11
12
13 China s Response In 1839 the Chinese Dynasty legislated that the import of opium would be punishable by death ~ by that time 12 million Chinese were users of Indian opium
14 A Growing Problem The Qing emperor was angry about the situation and had advisors write letters to Queen Victoria of England
15 So China decides to do this.. Emperor Daoguang orders British shipments of opium be confiscated and destroyed During one seizure of British cargo 20,000 chests of opium were destroyed Each chest was worth $1,000 In 2007 dollars that s about $300,000,000
16 Britain s Response British ignore China s rules and elude China s navy to sell it When China began taking opium shipments, Queen Victoria sent in the Royal Navy to bomb Chinese ports and vessels
17 Let the Wars Begin Britain attacks coastal Chinese cities to start the war in October of 1839 Battles took place mostly at sea Outdated Chinese ships were no match for the modern steam-powered gunboats of the British
18
19 Result of 1 st War ~ Chinese government pays Britain six million silver dollars for lost opium ~ Opium still illegal and black market trade grows All Chinese ports were opened to the British Britain gained control of Hong Kong (Restored to China in 1997) Extraterritoriality British & other foreigners were not subject to Chinese law in 5 major port cities of China
20 2nd opium war in 1856 Result of 2 nd War ~lasted for two years and ended with the humiliating Treaty of Tientsin ~ legalized opium in China
21 Influence of the Opium Wars They marked the beginning of the establishment of Western influence in China For the time being, China dealt with the problem by pitting foreign countries against one another
22
23 Growing Internal Problems Foreigners were not the greatest of China s problems China s population became an overwhelming challenge By 1850 there were 430 million Chinese- a 30% gain in only 60 years Food production did not increase Hunger became widespread, people were discouraged, and Opium addiction rose steadily As a result, the Chinese began to rebel against the Qing Dynasty
