The Opium War opened the history of modern humiliation. What is the biggest blow to China people?

Let China people see clearly the strength gap between themselves and other countries. The Opium War also damaged the healthy development of China people's body and mind, which led to the large-scale decline of the Qing government in military, economic, cultural and other aspects, and the national strength became increasingly weak, which made China begin the process of humiliation.

Since Lin Zexu and Humen destroyed opium, it harmed the interests of other countries, thus intensifying the contradiction between the Qing government and other countries. As a result, the foreign powers launched the Opium War, trying to develop China into the largest colony. Because the Qing government at that time did not move, thought it was? China goes all over the country and is everywhere. ? Therefore, the policy of closing the country to the outside world and prohibiting going to sea was implemented. But it was during this period that other countries overthrew feudal society and began the process of capitalism. In the process of continuous exploration, advanced technology and military weapons were invented, and after making full preparations, China was attacked.

With the sound of the Opium War, China was reduced from a feudal society to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and the nature of China changed. It seems a foregone conclusion that the soldiers of the Qing government are armed with daggers and red tassels against the shells and pistols of the great powers. Therefore, the self-righteous Qing government realized the gap between countries, and when the treaty of humiliating the country was signed at the negotiating table, the Qing government's disdain for foreign envoys seemed to be a joke. The signing of treaty of nanking made China lose its sovereignty gradually.

The benefits gained after the Opium War gave hope to other countries. It was the Opium War that made other countries realize the decline and backwardness of China. Today, the Qing government is unable to compete with other countries. Paper tiger? That's all. As a result, other countries became even more unscrupulous. Later, they launched the Second Opium War, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, which made the people of China in dire straits, deepened the disaster of the people of China, and caused a large number of cultural relics to be lost overseas.
