The book "Merchants of War and Peace" by British Knowledge of China in the Making of the Opium War provides a comprehensive overview of the historical context of the Opium War, which was a defining moment in the history of China and the West. The author, a renowned historian, delves into the intricacies of the conflict, exploring how the British East India Company's quest for profits led to the devastating war that lasted from 1839 to 1842. Through a detailed analysis of primary sources, including British government documents, newspapers, and personal correspondence, the author sheds light on the motivations and actions of both the British and Chinese sides, revealing the complex web of political, economic, and cultural factors that fueled the conflict. The book begins with an introduction to the background of the East India Company, established in 1600, which was granted a monopoly over the British trade with China by Queen Elizabeth I. The author highlights the company's early successes in the Indian subcontinent but also notes its decline in the late 18th century due to corruption, mismanagement, and competition from other trading companies. As the British economy began to falter, the company turned its attention to the Chinese market, seeking new opportunities for profit through the opium trade.
В книге «Купцы войны и мира» (Merchants of War and Peace) британского издания «Знание Китая в создании опиумной войны» («Knowledge of China in the Making of the Opium War») дается всесторонний обзор исторического контекста опиумной войны, которая стала определяющим моментом в истории Китая и Запада. Автор, известный историк, вникает в тонкости конфликта, исследуя, как стремление Британской Ост-Индской компании к прибыли привело к разрушительной войне, длившейся с 1839 по 1842 год. Посредством детального анализа первоисточников, включая британские правительственные документы, газеты и личную переписку, автор проливает свет на мотивации и действия как британской, так и китайской сторон, раскрывая сложную паутину политических, экономических и культурных факторов, которые подпитывали конфликт. Книга начинается с введения в историю Ост-Индской компании, основанная в 1600 году, которая получила монополию на британскую торговлю с Китаем от королевы Елизаветы I. Автор подчеркивает ранние успехи компании на индийском субконтиненте, но также отмечает ее упадок в конце XVIII века из-за коррупции, плохого управления и конкуренции со стороны других торговых компаний. Поскольку британская экономика начала давать сбои, компания переключила свое внимание на китайский рынок, ища новые возможности для получения прибыли за счет торговли опиумом.
