Just saw a question on Jeopardy, now you know too much about me, that is really quite shameful.

"Anger at the christian converts & foreigners spurred this 1900 uprising in China."

Answer, The Boxer Rebellion.

Lots of folks think the Chinese always smoked opium.
They didnt, opium wasnt a Chinese problem.

The British brought military fleets of conquest and opium, from India TO China.

China tried to end British opiun for decades, the boxer rebellion is just one.
