The Opium War is a conflict between England and China. The English wanted trade with the Chinese, but China didn't like this idea. The Chinese finally agreed to trade with England. After a while the English wanted to trade opium with China. China banned the import of opium because of the effects of the drug and sliver because China was paying for it. Later on in the 1838, China exclaimed that anyone buying or selling opium would be put to death. But The English had a very strong army, it was too strong for China. In the end Britain won the war because of their more advanced army and they forced China to legalize opium.
