 Opium War, _The Opium Wars_
 There were two Opium Wars; the first between 1839 and 1842; the second between 1856 and 1860. They led to the British capture of Hong Kong and lots of subsequent history. Both wars involved the Royal and merchant Navies and the British Army.
 The First Opium War broke out following disagreements between Chinese officials and British merchants trading in Canton. The focus was the control of the importation of opium into China. This led to Chinese military action against the European community in Nov 1839. The British responded in 1840 by despatching a force of some 4,000 men, partly British Army Regiments, partly East India Company native troops. The force, under command of Sir Hugh Gough arrived in Chinese waters escorted by a Royal Navy squadron. They occupied the island of Chusan at the entrance of Hangchow Bay. Moving south, the squadron then blockaded the ports of Hong Kong and Canton. In February 1841, a British amphibious operation captured the Pearl River fortifications guarding Canton. In May that year a further amphibious operation lead to the capture of Canton and a temporary peace. In the meantime, the British carried out coastal operations up the China coast - leading to the seizure of Amoy and Ningpo.
 The period of late 1841 and 1842 saw military operations halted by the winter and a breakdown of military administration. This was mainly due to poor funding by the British East India Company, whose stockholders were profiting from the campaign but were far away and paid little interest. The Admiralty and War Office in London also showed little regard for the welfare of their forces. [A strange harbinger of the Crimean War disasters which were to follow a decade later!] In 1842, the British force campaigned up the Yangtze River, capturing Shanghai on 19 June, Chinkiang in July and besieged Nanking. The Chinese then sued for peace. The subsequent Treaty of Nanking (29 Aug 1842) ceded Hong Hong to Great Britain and opened the so-called 'treaty ports' of Canton, Foochow, Ningpo and Shanghai to British trade (and later from other nations). The Chinese also paid Great Britain an indemnity of some 10 million pounds sterling! The Second Opium War began in October 1856 with the Chinese seizure of the British ship 'Arrow' at Canton. This brought armed reprisal and the bombardment of Chinese ports. Later an Anglo-French force under Sir Michael Seymour occupied canton (December 1857) then cruised There were in fact two Opium Wars; the first between 1839 and 1842; the second between 1856 and 1860.

 The Second Opium War began in 1856 with the Chinese north to capture the Taku forts in May 1858.
 June 1858 saw the negotiations between China, Great Britain, the United States and Russia leading to the Treaty of Tientsin. This theoretically brought peace, Chinese agreement to open more treaty ports and to open legations at Peking, The Chinese also gave permission for Christian missionaries to operate in the interior and legalised the importation of opium under a foreign inspected maritime Customs Service.
 In an earlier Treaty of Aigun of may 1857, the Chinese had ceded the left bank of the Amur River to Russia.
 But China soon abrogated the Franco-British treaties and refused foreign diplomats entry into Pekin. This led to the bombardment of the forts guarding the mouth of the Peihi River below Tientsin by a Royal Navy squadron commanded by Admiral Sir James Hope. The squadron was severely mauled and British landing parties repulsed by a surprisingly efficient Chinese garrison. Commodore Josiah Tatnall, commanding the US Asiatic Squadron assisted the British to withdraw. Great Britain and France agreed on joint action against China, gathering their forces in Hong Kong in May 1860. A joint amphibious force moved north to the Gulf of Chihli. The force was composed of 11,000 British troops under command of Lieutenant General Sir James Hope Grant and 7,000 French under Lieutenant General Cousin-Mautaban. Their landings were uncontested at Pei-Tang and the Taku Forts in August 1860. Chinese requests for a armistice and parley led to the dispatch of a delegation under Sir Harry Smith Parkes into the Chinese lines. The party was seized on 18 September, imprisoned and horribly tortured with over half dying. Meanwhile the expedition moved ahead, brushing aside some 30,000 Chinese troops in two sharp actions.
 The force arrived at the walls of Peking on 26 September 1860. Preparations for the assault began and the Summer Palace was looted on 6 October. On 18 October, another Chinese bid for peace was accepted. The price of the Treaty of Peking was the return of the survivors of the Parkes party, surrender of the Kowloon area opposite Hong Kong and an indemnity of some 8 million taels. General Grant then burned the Summer Palace in reprisal for the mistreatment of the Parkes party. Leaving a garrison at Tientsin, the expedition withdrew from China. The Russians took advantage of the Chinese prostration by extorting from her the Maritime Provinces where the port of Vladivostok was founded in 1861.
