The first opium war (1839-42), also known as the opium war and the Anglo-Chinese war, was fought between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Qing Empire on those contradictions about foreign relations, trade, and the administration of Justice to the foreign citizens. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the demand for Chinese goods (especially silk, porcelain, and tea) in the European market created a trade imbalance because the market for Western products in China was virtually non-existent; China is mostly self-sufficient and the Europeans are not allowed access to the Interior of China. Europe silver flowing into China as a total system, established in the mid-17th century, trade restrictions and the toCanton sea to the Chinese merchants of the thirteen factories. The British East India Company (EIC) has an exclusive mix of business. The EIC started planting opium auction on plantations in India to independent foreign exchange traders with silver. Then, the opium is transported to the coast of China and Chinese middlemen who sell to retail drugs within China. This reverses the flow of silver and the increasing number of opium addicts worry Chinese officials.In 1839, Emperor, rejected the proposal to legalise and tax drugs, appointed Lin Zexu to solve the problem by traffickers. Lin confiscated approximately 20,000 chests opium (about 2.66 million tons or 1210) without providing compensation, blockaded trade, and restrict foreign traders of quarters. [4] the uk Government, although not formally reject China's right to control the import of drugs, this unexpected objections and use its power and naval gunnery to cause a quick and decisive defeat. British official trade was conducted through the auspices of the EIC, which held a Royal Charter for the trade with the far East. The EIC gradually dominate Central Europe trade from its location in India. Since the establishment of the system of 1757, trade in goods from China is very attractive for the European and Chinese merchants alike. However, foreign traders are only allowed to do business through a body of Chinese traders are called Cohong and was limited to the total. Foreigners could only live in one of the thirteen factories, near the island of Shameen, and were not allowed to enter, much less live or trade in any other part of China.Opium produced in conventional cotton growing regions of India under EIC-exclusive (Bengal) and in the United Princely (Malwa) beyond the control of the company. Both the area was hit hard by the introduction of the factories producing cotton fabric, cotton grown in Egypt used. The opium was auctioned in Calcutta (nowKolkata) on the condition that it was shipped by British traders to China. Opium as a medicinal ingredient was documented in writing as early as the Tang dynasty but its recreational use is restricted and there is law against abuse of it.Britain sold opium began in 1781, and sales increased fivefold between 1821 and 1837 [verification needed]. The East India Company ship brought their goods to the islands off the coast, especially Lintin Island, where the Chinese traders with small boats fast and well armed took the goods to domestic distribution, pay for them with silver and cause a change in the flow of it. By 1820, only when necessary to bar Treasury funding for the Suppression of the rebellion, the flow of silver has reversed: Chinese traders now have exported it to pay for the drug. The Court debated whether or how to end the opium trade, but his efforts have been complicated by local officials (including Governor General) who benefit so much from bribery and related taxes.
