Opium was cultivated & produced in a district call 'Nil famari' in modern day Bangladesh roughly 300km north of capital Dhaka city & then supplied to China by The East India Company & the sole reason behind The Opium Wars.The Bengal Presidency or modern day Bangladesh at the height of its territorial jurisdiction, it covered large parts of what is now South Asia and Southeast Asia ( From Afghanistan to the west to Singapore to the East). Bengal was the economic, cultural and educational hub of the British Raj .. Historically, Bengal or Bangladesh has been the industrial leader of the South Asian subcontinent & produced 52% of the Mughal Empire GDP & 33% of the world GDP during Mughal & British Raj which fueled the First Industrial Revolution in Europe & America in the period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840 particularly with the proto-industrialized Mughal Bengal ( modern day Bangladesh), through the activities of the East India Company. ... When Bengal was reorganized, Penang, Singapore and Malacca were separated into the Straits Settlements in 1867. British Burma became a province of British Raj. Western areas, including the Ceded and Conquered Provinces and The Punjab, were further reorganized. Northeastern areas became Colonial Assam. The Partition of British India in 1947 resulted in Bengal's division on religious grounds.

Fun fact: The term "Opium war" wasn't created by the Chinese, but by the British, more specifically, the newspaper "Times of London" in 1840. The term was adopted by the Nationalist's under Chiang Kai-Shek in the 20's and 30's.

The death toll on the Chinese side in the Opium war, compared to other rebellions like the White Lotus rebellion or the Taiping civil war, were almost negligent. And yet the Opium War is more remembered today than all the other conflicts in China that caused death tolls that ranged from the tens to hundreds of thousands, all the way into the millions. The reason is that, although the war was more like a border skirmish, its symbolic value is virtually boundless.

The wars fought by Britain in China were limited wars and the direct effects of those wars were not directly felt by much of the population. The British have acknowledged their atrocities and tried to fix things. Many British administrators in Hong Kong were very sympathetic toward China, including even the communists. The Japanese on the other hand carried out very grotesque mass atrocities. Japan leveled cities and and massacred people, including babies. No segment of Chinese society was left untouched by the Japan's all-out invasion.

Excellent short documentary on history. As a Brit who has live d in UK all my life, I have learned something new ;-)I can't believe what my country did here, humiliating China with war, drug dealing, and annexing HONG KONG. Thankfully this happened a long time ago. Hopefully China in 21st century can forget like I forget who was responsible for the battle of Britain ;-) I have recently learned that UK has invaded more countries than any other in human history, and France and England between two nation stated have been at war longer than other. I don't know whether to be impressed or ashamed ;-)

One point is missing; by the start of the 19th century, the British govt, were sending emissaries to deal with the Chinese leaders, but incurred outrage when the British diplomats arrogantly refused to act* humbly by tradition when introduced to the leaders. On one trip back from China, the diplomats made a stop over at St.Helena, where Napoleon had already heard about their disastrous mission, and he made critical statements about what Britain's trade mission had lost by not getting off their high horses as mere diplomats and instead getting down to the business of amicably establishing trading between the powers. Yet another costly British Empire blunder for a foreign state half a world away. Gunboat Diplomacy is more appropriate than "trade conflict"..... Imagine the movie Independence Day, with big Alien ships hovering over the capitals in total control.

They refused to kowtow (get down on their knees and bow so low that their heads touch the floor) to the Chinese Emperor. The British were perfectly willing to pay respect to the Chinese Emperor, but bowing lower for him than they would for their own king was out of the question. The mission failed not because of British arrogance, but because the Chinese mistook the intention of the mission. They assumed that it was a tribute mission to the Emperor rather than an attempt to demonstrate the value of trade with Britain.

People also neglect to point out, that in 1850's the Taiping Rebellions in China significantly weakened the Qing Gov't. The Taiping carved out a separate kingdom in South China for a short time. By the time the rebellion was put down Tens of millions had died, on the scale of WW2 death toll. Interestingly, the leader of the Taipings was influenced by Jesuit priests from the West, and even called himself the Younger brother of Jesus Christ. I definitely don't blame the CCP of China to be wary of Foreign religions. What Foreign religions did in China back then, the NED/CIA is now trying to replicate it all over the world.
