Drugging a Nation

Written by: Samuel Merwin Sr.

Drugging a Nation unveils the shocking role of the British Empire in the widespread addiction to opium that plagued the Chinese population during the nineteenth century. This gripping narrative reveals how the opium crisis weakened China, leading to multiple invasions—often by the British themselves—aimed at strengthening their treaty ports, alongside interventions from other global powers. Ultimately, this relentless exploitation contributed to the collapse of the once-mighty empire.
