Second Opium War: Overview
Fought between 1856 and 1860, the Second Opium War led to the further opening of China to foreign influence and contributed to the spread of imperialism. Led by Britain and France, Western forces were able to defeat the Chinese and gain significant concessions. The Second Opium War was ended by the Convention of Peking.
English merchants of East Indian Company introduced opium to China against the Emperor wishes. So similar to drug trade of modern day, except the dealers (England) maintained trade through battle. It would be like the Honduras defeating America through an actual battle or invasion to gain the right to trade cocaine with impunity.

Happy Opium Suppression Movement Day!
“At an elevated spot on the shore a space was barricaded in; here a pit was dug, and filled with opium mixed with brine: into this, again, lime was thrown, forming a scalding furnace, which made a kind of boiling soup of the opium. In the evening the mixture was let out by sluices, and allowed to flow out to sea with the ebb tide.”

Entry of Lord Elgin into Peking, 1860. In retaliation for the imprisonment, torture, and execution of almost 20 European & Indian prisoners, Elgin ordered the Old Summer Palace fired, which was done by 3,500 British troops and burned for three days. Elgin and his troops looted many treasures from the Yuan Ming Yuan imperial gardens and took them to Britain. Attacks on the Summer Palace were also made, but the extent of destruction was not as great as to Yuan Ming Yuan.

The Treaty of Nanjing
The British felt they had the right to impose the Treaty of Nanjing on China because the state in which China was was one that was not threatening at all. The British had the Chinese hooked on opium and China was having an extremely hard time getting their citizens off of it. Britain’s military was far superior than China’s and now because of the opium trading they were not lacking when it came to negotiations. However the Treaty of Nanjing was barely a treaty as China had little to nothing gain
