England colonized India between the 1600s and 1947. At its peak in the early 20th century, the British Empire spanned one-fourth of the world's land and population, including India. England wanted to colonize other countries for economic and political gain. When the British arrived in India, they faced resistance from Indian rulers and established control over the subcontinent. British rule significantly changed India's political and economic systems and also influenced British culture through the introduction of Indian cuisine and other aspects of Indian culture.
