After two Opium Wars, why did Britain not demand for China to open all the ports they had?
They won the war for twice and their prime objectives were better trade deal with China.
Moreover, it is quite odd that they wanted certain ports rather than all ports that China had.
Due to these, I wodner that what made Britain not to demand that "Open all ports to the British".
