Question - Which statement best describes an effect of the Opium Wars on China?
Which statement best describes an effect of the Opium Wars on China?
A. The British expelled all Chinese from Hong Kong.
B. The British victory led to spheres of influence in China.
C. The British ended the importing of opium into China.
D. The British established a parliamentary democracy in China.
E. Chinese isolation increased.
Answer: B.
British victory in the Opium Wars led to spheres of influence in China. In 1839, when the Chinese tried
to outlaw the opium trade, the British refused, and continued to import the drug. This led to the Opium
Wars. The Chinese were easily defeated and signed the Treaty of Nanking (1842). The British annexed
Hong Kong and secured the right to trade at four Chinese ports in addition to Canton. These trading ports
became spheres of influence in which European nations secured exclusive trading privileges. After 1870,
France, Germany, and Russia gained spheres of influence in China. These spheres of influence opened up
China to trade rather than isolating it. The British remained in control of Hong Kong until 1997 and did
not establish democracy in China.

taxes.

Answer: E.
The Sepoy Mutiny or Rebellion resulted in the British government ruling India directly as a colony. The British controlled India through the British East India Company until 1857. The British, who crushed the Sepoy Native Indian Troops, changed their policy after 1857. The government ended the rule of the British East India Company in 1858 and assumed control of the colony, ruling British India as a colony and ruling the native states indirectly as protectorates through British advisors. The British East India Company did not raise taxes since it did not control India after 1858. India did not achieve independence until after World War II. Hindu, not Christianity, is the major religion of India.
