Excerpt: The First Anglo-Chinese War (1839-42), known popularly as the First Opium War, was the first of two Opium Wars fought between the United Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty of China over their conflicting viewpoints on diplomatic relations, trade, and the administration of justice. Chinese officials wished to stop what they thought was an outflow of silver and to control the spread of opium, and confiscated supplies of the drug from British traders. They did not understand that the British government, though it did not deny China's right to control imports, would object to this seizure and had a newly developed military power to enforce violent redress. In 1842, the Treaty of Nanking-the first of what the Chinese later called the unequal treaties- though it did not mention either opium or diplomatic relations, granted an indemnity to Britain, the opening of five treaty ports, and the cession of Hong Kong Island, thereby ending the trade monopoly of the Canton System. The war is now considered in China as the beginning of modern Chinese history.

The system granted a monopoly to the British East India Company, on one side, and the Thirteen Hongs on the other, and maritime trade was only allowed to take place in Canton (Guangzhou). Foreigners could only live in one of the Thirteen Factories, on Shameen Island, and were not allowed to enter, much less live or trade in, any other part of China. It became comparatively uneconomical for the British to import the same low-value manufactured consumer products to China as they traded in India, and which the average Chinese could afford to buy. A trade imbalance came into being that was highly unfavorable to Britain. The Sino-British trade was dominated by high-value luxury items such as tea (from China to Britain) and silver (from Britain to China), to the extent that Europ 32 pp. Englisch<
