Growth of British Influence
The English East India Company continued to extend its control over the Indian territories throughout the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Treaties made with Indian princes provided for the stationing of British troops within these princely states. To pay for the troops, the British were often given revenue- collecting rights in certain parts of the states. This gave them indirect control over these areas. Many of these states were annexed when succession to the throne was in doubt or when the ruler acted in ways that seemed contrary to British interests.
