Activities and Exploration of the Eighth Grade History P5 of People's Education Press: Why did China fail in the Opium War?
1. China is a feudal system and Britain is an advanced capitalist system. A modern history of the world is a history of the bloody rise of western capitalist powers and the tragic fall of eastern feudal countries. After all, generally speaking, the capitalist system is a more advanced and scientific system. This is also the most basic reason for winning or losing.

2. China also has many shortcomings in terms of strategy, tactics and determination to fight. During hundreds of years of foreign expansion and aggression, Britain has matured its own strategy and tactics. It is also in this way that it can spread all over five continents and become an empire that never falls.

3. Moreover, it is also possible to induce the enemy to gather and annihilate inland. The enemy's front is so long, and sometimes it will come from afar, and these disadvantages are not as serious as many people think. Now historical research proves that its logistics supply is not very difficult. In this war, the British army never lost because of lack of supplies. And its supply is also relatively abundant. With the help of strong maritime power and China's lack of ability to cut off its maritime routes, China's domestic deployment of troops to the front line is slower than that of Britain, but the supply is insufficient. In addition, the ruler's lack of will to fight to the end is also an important reason.

Generally speaking, it is corruption! The Qing government at that time was closed to the outside world and knew nothing about the outside world. At first, it underestimated the enemy and became timid in the battle! If you don't prepare for war, you won't practice! No plan, no courage!

Ps: backward concept,

Soldiers' fighting quality is not high.

Leading corruption.

Weapons and equipment are backward.
