3. Problems in the Qing Dynasty 1750’s-1800’s
Since 1644 the Qing Dynasty had been ruled by the FOREIGN Manchu (from Manchuria) race from the north who brought stability and continued isolation from the west
By the late 1700’s problems emerged:
Civil Service exam became corrupt Incompetent bureaucrats
Population tripled
Little spending on agricultural products and industrialization - Extreme poverty

4. Conflicts of Trade and Rise of Opium: Early 1800’s
Chinese did not desire the newly manufactured products of the “West” and wanted Euro silver in exchange for Chinese goods- This led to a decrease in profits for British merchants
British merchants soon turned to Opium grown in India as a way to pay for products, thereby increasing their profits
By 1839 Over 6 Millions pounds of opium was being exchanged

5. Chinese Response to Opium Crisis
The Rise in Opium caused:
Extreme addiction
Neglect of administrative responsibilities
Rise in corruption
After seeing his country in decline, the emperor soon hired official Lin Zexu (the incorruptible), who later ordered a blockade and destruction of Opium Warehouses Decreasing British profits

6. The Opium war and their treaties
The British soon declared war on the Chinese to re-open Opium trading ( and 1850’s)
The British with new steamboat technology devastated Chinese forces by sea/land with new industrialized weapons, forcing the Chinese to “unequal treaties”
By 1890 over 90 Chinese ports were controlled by Western/Japanese military officials, merchants and missionaries
