Abstract
In this thesis, I argue that the very phenomena which are thought of as products of British hegemony were instead the outcome of the limits of British imperial power: firstly, the vast scale of the nineteenth century opium trade between India and the Qing Empire; secondly, the First Opium War; and finally, the historiography of British power itself.
