(Discussion): The Second Opium War of 1856-1860 with Craig and Justin

Craig and Justin discuss the history and economics behind the Second Opium War of 1856-1860. Similar to how the Treaty of Versailles caused WW2, the the unequal treaty of Nanking signed after the first opium war of 1839-1842 was a major reason for the war. During the war the Qing Emperor, Xianfeng had to deal with both Britain and France as well as a Taiping Rebellion being led by Hong Xiuquan. The results of this war led to the great tragedy that was the burning of the old summer palace and a humiliating defeat for the Qing dynasty. Grievances such as these paved the way to the Pacific War of 1937-1945.
