Imperialism is when a country updates another country with the latest technology. The updated country likes it but doesn't know that years from now it would be ruled by the country that upgraded it. Britain had done it to Africa, India, and China. It gave the Chinese, Indian, and African people lots of opium and others. It's like smuggling or dealing drugs.
The Opium Wars went from 1839 to 1842. After that China got so addicted to opium, which can be made into heroin. In 1843, the Treaty of Nanjing was signed and it would go in effect for years until 1997 because Hong Kong was British territory at the time. The second Opium War took place in 1858 and the U.S. was one of the countries to be involved in it.
