The opium wars were fought so that smugglers could keep illegally bringing in opium to China so that they in turn could bring resources like silk and tea back to Britain. Silver was really the only thing China was interested in trading, which would bankrupt Britain if they decided to pay that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
