The Opium Wars : A 6 page paper discussing the
causes and
results of the two Opium Wars (1839-1842 and 1856-1858)
between China and Britain. In 300 years of trade with China,
Britain had developed a thirst for China’s tea as well as
appetites for Chinese silk and porcelain, but pre-industrial China
found very little to desire from Britain’s offerings. To ease the
resulting tremendous trade deficit, Britain began growing opium
in its colony India and insisted that China allow it to enter their
country for use by their people. China declined the affront to
their national sovereignty, lost Hong Kong to Britain, and later
lost all right to restrict the opium trade within their borders.

Of Living In The Industrial Revolution : A 5 page

middle class made trade prosperous while the working class
continued to suffer, but positive social changes did eventually
happen as people of reason insisted that all had responsibility
for the millions caught in the trap of industrial work they could
not escape. The limit of work hours to no more than ten in a
day allowed the reacquaintance of families and even allow
many children to spend their days in school, rather than in a
lung-threatening factory. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
