Posted on 08/09/2023

By the late 17th century, European traders had established outposts on the Indian subcontinent. The East India Company fought and conquered local kingdoms with their superior military prowess, becoming the dominant force by the 18th century. The Government of India Act of 1858 allowed the British Crown to take full control of India after the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
