India vs The British Empire

The British East India Company arrived in India in the early 1600s, struggling and nearly begging for the right to trade and do business. By the late 1700s the thriving firm of British merchants, backed by its own army, and essentially ruling India. In the 1800s English power expanded in India.After those very violent spasms things would change but Britain was still in control, And India was very much an outpost of the mighty British Empire. I personally think the British Empire was all about gaining power from one country to another.
