This is the second episode of our two part discussion on the Opium Wars. This episode focuses on the Opium wars themselves, the actual role of opium in British/Qing trade, and the fallout that these wars had on shaping both Chinese and European historiography fro the next several decades. The episode is hosted by /u/Steelcan909 and our speaker today, on the other side of the mic once again, is /u/enclavedmicrostate!
