The First Opium War Part 2 - The Empire Strikes Back
from Forgotten Wars
After being driven from Canton and taking refuge on the barren island of Hong Kong, Britain declares war on China in the name of the poppy. Soon both governments are struggling to wage a conflict neither wanted, but that is now taking on a life of its own, as British forces approach the very gates of Canton itself. Hosted on Acast.
