1. The constant distribution of the British with opium in China, creating addicts to be less productive, making them unable to work or other situations.

Explanation:  

The opium war was a disagreement in trade between China and Great Britain, which lasted for four years. For Great Britain, the export of Opium to China was its best investment, but China did not agree with it, because it was resulting in the addiction of many people who are disabled to work and be a productive person for the country.

China took the measure to prevent Great Britain from marketing this product in their country and if they did not accept this they would be left without any marketing agreement between the two countries but they faced a battle in which China was defeated and forced to free trade.

2. The Chinese government confiscated much of the opium and destroying it, likewise, China issued an ultimatum to the British to end the trade in general if they did not stop selling opium to their country.

Explanation:  

Despite China's resistance to the commercialization of opium and confiscating much of the opium and destroying it, they also spoke of breaking the commercialization of both countries, but Great Britain, upon hearing the complaints of the people affected by this measure, decided to take actions.  Which led to a war which China lost, and had to accept free trade in the products of Great Britain including Opium.

3.   The Chinese counterattacks were unsuccessful so they signed the Nanjing Treaty declaring that Britain had Hong Kong and other ports. But during this treaty the economy of Great Britain suffered a deficit, since the import of tea from China had a great increase.

Explanation:

After China was defeated, it had to sign the Nanjing Treaty where they declared that Great Britain had control of Hong Kong and other ports for the free trade of its products. This treaty forced China to accept other treaties that were imposed by other powers.

Despite China feeling defeated, he realized that Great Britain needed them for the export of tea, which was an important product for the British, and due to the war that both countries had, Britain had lost money in its trade of tea.

4. The factors are industrialization and nationalism.

Explanation:

Important factors for imperialism include industrialization and nationalism. Industrialization is important to obtain control of the main raw materials and to follow the industrialization of countries and as long as there is imperialism, nationalism will be present, which are responsible for the economy and politics.

5.  For Green, industrialization had more power, becoming the main reason for industrial deployment in much of the world. The objective of the Europeans was to control the raw materials that were used during industrialization.    

Explanation:

Green believed that industrialization was essential for most of the countries of the world that large-scale production, the development of technologies and the extension of places of commercialization towards more important industrialization and increased the economy.

The control of the industrialization in the countries turned them into powers that had the dominion of the raw material to commercialize to other countries obtaining greater benefits.
