Why did Britain invade China? ! Why! ! ! ! I come from London! ! ! So I was laughed at by my classmates in front of them! ! ! Why! ! ! !

Britain is a country where capitalism developed earlier.

After the industrial revolution, capitalism advanced by leaps and bounds.

To continue to develop, we must have four basic conditions: capital, raw materials, labor force and market.

The primitive handicraft industry is small in scale and can also be used in China. However, with the influence of the industrial revolution, the production scale is getting bigger and bigger, and it is bound to enter the stage of overseas expansion.

At present, Britain, the Netherlands, Spain and other countries are vigorously exploring overseas colonies to obtain funds, raw materials, labor and markets.

In the world at that time, Africa and South America were almost occupied and both were colonies.

As a big country in the East, China has these four things that capitalism wants. Of course, they will consider invading China.

This is an inevitable stage of the development of capitalism.

At that time, China's military strength was very weak ~ ~ ~

During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's time, Britain didn't help China much. (I can't say nothing, but it's rare. )

Because Britain was busy dealing with Germany at that time, Britain almost devoted all its energy to dealing with Germany during World War II, and had no time or energy to manage Asian affairs at all.

It was the United States that gave China some assistance during this period.
