Answer:
Why were the Rajputs an easy prey for British?
Explanation:
It was easy for the British to conquer India in the 18th century because as a country we were disunited.British involvement in India during the 18th century can be divided into two phases, one ending and the other beginning at mid-century. In the first half of the century, the British were a trading presence at certain points along the coast; from the 1750s they began to wage war on land in eastern and south-eastern India and to reap the reward of successful warfare, which was the exercise of political power, notably over the rich province of Bengal. By the end of the century British rule had been consolidated over the first conquests and it was being extended up the Ganges valley to Delhi and over most of the peninsula of southern India. By then the British had established a military dominance that would enable them in the next fifty years to subdue all the remaining Indian states of any consequence, either conquering them or forcing their rulers to become subordinate allies
Answer:
the answer is below
Explanation:
Except Bengal and Mysore, which were comparable to present day states, most other territories occupied by British during the 18th century were of size of present day districts. Also British have won those territories after much struggle, with the help of insiders and support of outsiders. Even by 1857, around 50% territories were not directly under the British rule. But back then it was just a company which had it's own army and navy. Even if British government had directly involved, it would have been difficult to capture India and now it is impossible to capture. Now a country can win India in battle but it cannot think to capture and control it.
