ОПИУМНЫЕ ВОЙНЫ | Главная Историческая Травма Китая | ИСТОРИЯ ДЛЯ СНА

The history of the Opium Wars is the story of how Britain's thirst for tea and the East India Company's cynical calculations turned drugs into a weapon of high politics and plunged a great empire into chaos. You'll follow the journey from Commissioner Lin's desperate struggle and the burning of the Summer Palace to the signing of the humiliating treaties that sealed China's military defeat. You'll learn why the "century of humiliation" remains Beijing's greatest historical trauma and how the events of two centuries ago dictate the rules of global politics in the 21st century.
