The British East India Company: Profits, Exploitation, and Imperialism #shortsfeed #india #british

The Profits of the East India Company: The British East India Company, established in the early 17th century, became a dominant force in India's trade and governance. The company exploited its trade monopoly to accumulate vast wealth and power. However, its practices often involved exploitation of local resources, manipulations of political situations, and the establishment of a puppet ruler system. These actions contributed to the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the First War of Independence, which ultimately led to the dissolution of the East India Company and the British Crown assuming direct control over India.
