Some people say that the Opium War was caused by Lin Zexu's destruction of opium in Humen. Is this correct? Tell me why.

Wrong. The destruction of opium in Humen only provided an excuse for the British invaders to further open the China market. Because Britain was in the period of primitive accumulation of capital, the industrial revolution should have a certain primitive accumulation of capital, which is the inevitable requirement of the development of capitalism. Without accumulation, capitalism cannot develop further. At that time, European colonists colonized everywhere because of the rise of the new bourgeoisie and the development of capitalism.
