The arrival at Calicut on 20 May 1498 of Vasco Da Gama openeda sea route from Eastern Europe. Subsequently, India became a center for Europe's trade & a sphere of European ambition to expand its hegemony on Spice Islands, the source of multiple naval battles.
Explanation:
- The British first reach the Indian subcontinent as spice merchants. Before modern times, spices were the main means for the preservation of meat in Europe. The subcontinent was then taken to the Empire with more advanced & powerful weapons. In order to trade, the British arrived in the Indian subcontinent in Surat port on 24th August in the year 1608 AD, however in 7 years British recipients received a Royal order to set up a plant in Surat under Sir Thomas Roe. The East India Company also received similar approval from the Vijayanagara Empire in Madras to build its 2nd factory.
- The British eventually dominated the other "European trading"business and saw its Indian trading companies expand dramatically over the years. Many commercial posts were set up along India's eastern & western shores and significant English community was founded around Calcutta , Bombay, and Madras, three presidential towns. Mostly, Indigo dye, Tea, Cotton, Silk, & opium were traded. Twenty years later, by building a factory in Kolkata the company expanded its reach to the East in India.
- During their time as a business group, they realized that the whole Indian Subcontinent is scattering into the modern world under provincial Kingdoms. The East India Company began to participate in "Indian politics"in the 1750s. In 1757, one of his military officers, Robert Clive, vanquished the forces of the Nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-daulah, at the Battle in Plassey. The ECI saw its prosperity & transformed it from a trading enterprise to a governing enterprise.
- In 1858 after the 1st War Independence in the year 1857 also known as the 1857 Rebellion, the rule of the ECI was concluded. The British Crown overtook the direct rule of India after the abolition of the ECI from India and introduced the so-called British Raj.
