Question

What were the reasons for British expansion in India?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In 1600, the East India Company was originally chartered to trade basic commodities such as silk, tea, salt opium and spices from India to Europe. Over time the East India company radically transformed itself from a trading company into an entity that controlled a massive empire in India. Britain, through the East India Company, was able to dominate the Indian sub-continent, which includes modern-day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka from the 1750s. The British effectively ruled the sub-continent for almost two centuries, from the 1750s until 1947, with relatively little opposition and unrest
