Question
Hi,
  Can you tell me more about The opium War? I heard that Hong Kong was Conquered by the British during this event.

Thanks for helping me with my school work.

Answer
Hi Justin,

I'm an advocate of learning and I believe strongly in the philosophy "While I live, I learn". Hence, I can't tell you directly about the Opium War. Rather, I will point you a good link. It's a credible source and you can use the information from there:
