Opium War Fishbowl

What factors existed in the late 1700s and early 1800s that caused Britain to need a new source of income with which to purchase Chinese exports?

Why do you think the British government went along with the East India Company, as they engaged in clearly illegal activities?

How did the British make it appear that they were not smuggling drugs into China? What reasons would they have for going through this circuitous [indirect] route?

How did laissez-faire economic ideals play into the causes and consequences of the Opium War?

What motivations did China have for making opium illegal? Why did they fail in their quest to stop its movement within the Chinese population?

What facts about China were revealed by the Opium War?

How do you think the humiliating defeat by a barbarian people, coupled with an even more degrading treaty affected the Chinese people’s ideas about themselves? Why might these revelations cause such dramatic uprisings and general chaos around that nation?

What kinds of obstacles did the EIC encounter as it tried to grow tea in India?

How is the Industrial Revolution linked with the drive to become an Imperialist power with colonies?

Overall, was the British empire more destructive or more innovative, and why?
