The British government eventually was able to colonize China.

Cedric · Answer 2

The correct answer is The British government eventually was able to colonize China.

The European powers had been trying to colonize China ever since the 1600s. Since China was powerful and easily stopped Europeans from spreading their influence in taking them, they couldn't do it. Eventually, the British managed to win against the weakened government and take Hong Kong and colonize China which brought huge harm to the country.
