Question

What were the stratrategies adopted by the British to add?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1)Farmers were now mass producing cash crops instead of food crops, which were ultimately used for the benefit of British industries. These cash crops include cotton, jute, oilseeds, sugarcane, tobacco etc. Note :- As a result, there was an increase in the yield of cash crops, but it helped the farmers in no way.

2)The British first established trading posts in India, in order to purchase spices that were much in demand in Britain and Europe. They first came to trade and not to conquer. The Anglo-Indian trade was monopolised by the East India Company
