It exists a link between this document about opium and the main subject of this project, the tea.
First of all it is necessary to know that the opium is made from the poppy. Although its narcotic properties are known, the opium is above all used in medicinal purposes. Turks and Arabs having imported the poppy by the silk route, the opium, made from the poppy, is known in China since the period of emperors Tang (VIIe-Xe century). This drug is pulled by the capsules of the poppy, where lies the juice of the plant, contains some morphine and the narcotine enter other. Her consumers become totally dependent and ruin themselves to get itself it.
The opium is very desired, in particular during the Ogaden War ( 1839-1842 ) which sets the United Kingdom against the Empire Qing of China. While the British detain the monopoly of the trade of the drug, the Chinese forbid the use of this one, what starts this Ogaden War. The purpose is to impose in China the legalization of the traffic of the opium which is a big consumer market. This drug is produced in another part of colonial world, India. The extension of the trade with China expresses himself by the extension of the trade of the opium.
