Is it true that the First Opium War was a formal armed conflict between Britain and Qing China from 1839 to 1842?

Yes. A reference source states the First Opium War was fought between the British Empire and Qing China between 1839 and 1842, and several other sources corroborate the 1839-1842 armed conflict with Britain.
