Opium War

money

Cumskins get out reeeeee

chinks tried to jew them out of all their money

>>2162120
Chinks where being fair and square

Greedy white man wanted more money and tea, and said fuck Chinese laws.

>>2162136
the laws and trade restrictions were bullshit and you know it (even Marx called it bullshit)

if Brits weren't constantly bullied into desperation they wouldn't turn to drug-dealing, and even since Britain was stronger than them they didn't even have to follow China's bullshit laws, but the Chinese attacked them anyway.

Oh NOW Marx is a credible person?
>Bullied
Bullied? Nobody forced them into wars that bankrupted them, nobody forced them to have such a large demand for tea. That was self inflicted

And bullshit laws or not that was still the law, what they needed to do was find something the Chinese wanted that was legal. But nope drug money it is and then when China cracks down on the drug they somehow think that they are on a position to cry.

>>2162095
Typical perfidious albion behavior.

>>2162186
Chinese are notorious addicts and gambler. The British weren't there to be playing moral guardians.

>>2162186
but it's funny that China goes into communism when its poster child says the Brits dindu nuffin.

>>2162193
>Chinese are notorious addicts
That is why opium was banned in China, and it worked well until the British showed up.

>>2162095
China hordes currencies and disregards intellectual property, some of them want to smoke opium which frees up some silver. The British are happy to oblige.

Emperor does autistic screeching, it's not very effective.

China was a much larger nation that had been a center of world power for centuries. If they couldn't defend themselves because of their backwards social policies I don't see how that's the fault of Britain.

>>2162095
If your more powerful you can justify anything. Nobody gives a shit.

The fun part is the Anglos maymayed that they "opened China."

When in reality the Dutch, the French, the Portuguese, and the Spanish have been trading with the Chinks non-stop. The European concessions was pretty much everyone responding to Britain's assholery by securing a spot in China.

Pic related. Qing "Isolationism."

>>2162095
Might makes right

>>2162095
If in doubt it is somehow Germany's fault

as should be recalled, the Chinese state on many occasions thwarted the sovereignty of the British State, seizing numerous vessels without a care as to legality

the whole operation was only to ensure that free enterprise was respected

>>2162202

it had never been a center of world power you know

that claim is laughable

>>2162095
We want money, yo!

In those days you didnt need justification. How do the norwegians justify vikings?

>>2163482

since Norwegians did not exist...

Oh shit nigga, you got me there!

>>2163482
The difference between vikings and opium war is at least 1000 years

opium is really good

>China was a much larger nation that had been a center of world power for centuries.

China has never EVER been anything beyond a regional power. Prior to the 17th-18th century, there were no powers that could project force and influence economies on every continent. The only nations that have ever been world powers have been European (with the exception of the USA).

>>2163799
>Prior to the 17th-18th century, there were no powers that could project force and influence economies on every continent
Rome kind of did it, but Charles V defiantly did just that

Why does everything need to be justified? Why can it not be accepted as a thing that happened?

>>2163879

it can often follow as a response to those that see the need to recriminate for things that occurred centuries ago and are no longer in any stage of relevance

>>2164248
Incects?

Incests?

Hmmmmmmmmmm

>>2164251
>but true
[Citation needed] although I agree. No such thing as morality, and therefore I am happy that the Brits got cucked out of Hong Kong.

>>2163916
You don't need casus belli against heathens.

>>2162202

Oh yeah?
So might is right? Except when it's the 21st century and Britain is getting invaded by it's colonial subjects.

>White genocide! Help pls!

Chinks tried to deprive their people of the right to buy British opium and kept a bunch of British merchants hostage.

>>2163886
The best /his/ meme

SLITTY

>hi China we need a lot of tea

>Brits attack

It was for money

>>2164904
But opium was already illegal by the time the English started to sell it in the country

>>2162095
It was profitable.

Can you fucking retards get anything right?

I know that feelfam.

>>2163864

I don't recall Rome having any influence in the Americas or Africa or Asia outside of small areas.

They projected power all over the world that they knew sure, but there are literally retarded tribes out there doing that right now.

Charles V? Eh maybe.
