  • The Opium Wars had many lasting consequences and implications. It made the ruling Qing dynasty unpopular and weak. This gave rise to costly uprisings and rebellions such as the Taiping Rebellion and the Boxer Rebellion. it also severely weakened the Chinese economy and caused a lasting opioid crisis throughout the nation because of the thousands of addicts.
