History of the Poppy War Part One || The Red Emperor & Emperor Qin || The Opium Wars

Part one of a series in which I talk about, in a hopefully accessible way, some of China's history on which some events in The Poppy War were based. Here I talk about the unification of China through the 2nd Opium War, ushering in China's 'century of humiliation'. Ties to the Red Emperor and Nikan's 1st and 2nd Poppy Wars. I hope you enjoy it!
