Tea.
Everyone knows about this drink and I doubt that there will never be a man who did not drink.
Tea appeared before our era in China, where the bushes had carefully kept from prying eyes.
In the mid-seventeenth century, the dried leaves of the tea began to be imported to Europe.
The drink is so pleased with the Europeans (particularly the British) that the country simply traded their gold and currency reserves at the dried leaves of grass.
A century later, when to pay for the tea already had nothing, the British steel instead of gold to offer the opium.
So began the first opium war, where the British happy for myself got tea bushes.
After that England imported tea bushes in their colony in India, and forcing the people to work for themselves.
So England is becoming a tea Empire.
What's next you ask?
In the XIX century on the shelves appears sugar.
Drink plain tea has no interest, and the sugar industry does not have sufficient production volumes.
What can you do?
England exports from its colonial settlements in Africa black people, and sends out to America to work on the cane plantations to produce sugar.
And God only knows how many ships sank in the Atlantic ocean ships with people...
Now we Wake up and drink tea without even thinking how many times he's paid human victims.
Thank you for reading to the end.
I await your opinions in messages.
