Question

In early 1840, the British government decided to use what tactic

against the Chinese?
O Military Force
O Diplomatic Agreements
O Scorched-Earth Policy

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In early 1840, the British government decided to use military force against the Chinese. This decision led to the First Opium War, which lasted from 1839 to 1842. The war was primarily fought over the British trade of opium into China, which was illegal under Chinese law, and the Chinese government's attempts to stop it. The British government sent a fleet of warships to China, and in 1842, the Chinese were forced to sign the Treaty of Nanking, which opened up several Chinese ports to British trade, and ceded Hong Kong to the British. The treaty marked the beginning of the unequal treaties between China and various Western powers.
