Jeremy Paxman continues his personal account of Britain's empire... Jeremy then heads to Hong Kong, where British-supplied opium threatened to turn the Chinese into a nation of drug addicts - leading to the brutal opium wars, in which Britain triumphed and took the island of Hong Kong as its prize. “Imperialism” is a video in which John Green teaches you about European Imperialism in the 19th century. European powers started to create colonial empires way back in the 16th century, but businesses really took off in the 19th century, especially in Asia and Africa. During the 1800s, European powers carved out spheres of influence in China, India, and pretty much all of Africa. While all of the major (and some minor) powers in Europe participated in this new imperialism, England was by far the most dominant, once able to claim that the "sun never set on the British Empire." Also, they went to war for the right to continue to sell opium to the people of China. John will teach you how these empires managed to leverage the advances of the Industrial Revolution to build vast, wealth-generating empires… P I E Crash Course YouTube Channel description The Crash Course staff indicate that the videos would be useful for educators to use with their students, students studying the topics, or people who just want to learn.
