Daoguang Emperor
1782 CE–1850 CE · Beijing
The Daoguang Emperor (1782-1850) was the seventh emperor of China's Qing dynasty, reigning from 1820 to 1850. His reign was dominated by the growing crisis over opium imports and the failure of his efforts to suppress the drug trade, which led to the First Opium War with Britain from 1839 to 1842. China's defeat and the resulting Treaty of Nanjing forced open several ports to foreign trade and ceded Hong Kong to Britain, marking the beginning of what Chinese history terms the "century of humiliation."
