　　Over one hundred and fifty years ago, a drug called opium started a war between Great Britain and China. The war which lasted two years, was called the Opium War. About two hundred years ago opium was brought to China from India. It was carried on ships, most of which were owned in Great Britain. The Chinese government tried to stop ships from bringing opium in－to China because more and more people were becoming opium addicts.

　　British merchants didn't like the idea of losing money because they couldn't sell their opium to the Chinese. They refused to surrender(交出) to Chinese officials the opium they carried in their ships. This started the Opium War. It lasted from 1840 to 1842, when the Chinese were defeated. The Chinese signed a treaty giving Britain $ 6 million. The amount of opium coming into China then doubled and tripled. So did the number of opium addicts.
