of how China was defeated by the British in the Opium War (1839–42) when
the Chinese leaders wanted to end the devastating opium trade. The
signing of the Treaty of Nanking in 1842 marked China’s defeat and ceded
control of five treaty ports [including Hong Kong Island] and

A documentary looking at Britain’s
legacy as opium traders in China. This video provides an overview of
how China was defeated by Britain in the Opium War (1839–42) after the
Chinese leaders wanted to end the devastating trade. The signing of
the Treaty of Nanking in 1842 marked China’s defeat (the Chinese called
this an unequal treaty) and ceded control of five treaty
ports [including Hong Kong Island]. The 1842 treaty also enabled Britain
to continue selling opium in China.
