Question

explain three factors that helped the rise of power of British east india company

Answer 1

In the 18th century, India was an advanced civilization and the rulers regarded the British with disdain.

By the 1750s, this had changed and the balance of power shifted in favor of the British. The British presence in India began through trade.

Men like Robert Clive, of the British East India Company, combined military prowess with a ruthless ambition, and became fabulously wealthy.

With wealth came power, an traders took control of huge swaths of India.
