2. Overview Spices from India had become extremely valuable in Europe after the late 1400s. Portugal dominated waters and trade around India, assuming huge amounts of money. In 1599 a few British businessmen saw wealth in India and asked the Queen for an exclusive charter to trade with the region. In 1600, as a private company, the British East India Company set out to India on five ships.
3. Eventually the British East India Company would grow larger, adding more trading posts and soldiers. The company would hire Indians to fight to defend these trading posts from other European countries and Indians themselves. These Indians were called Sepoys. France and Portugal were the main threats to the East India Company because the held some ports along the coast. Also, they matched Britain technology, usually Indian native groups were not as dangerous to the company because they did not have the same firepower that the British did, unless they were being supplied by a European country.
4. By 1857 the British East India Company dominated India. They had taken most of the subcontinent and occupied nearly all of the coast line of the Bay of Bengal. In order to keep all of this land, the company was forced into debt by military spending. The company also lost its monopoly in 1854 and a Sepoy Rebellion followed. This was the beginning of the decline of the British East India Company. For the next 90 years, the British government would take direct control over these Indian territories, until India would receive its independence in 1947.
5. Although the East India Company was a private company, it functioned like an occupying government. For example, the East India Company had thousands of soldiers at their disposal, they manned forts, the company even set up courts and political offices. Indians were not allowed to work in any formal positions. The company was vital to the British economy as it nearly doubled economic production. Also, there was no initial problems with the East India Company for the British homeland. So the company was allowed gain more and more territory and take advantage of its monopoly in the area. After the decline of the East India Company, the British government itself was forced to take direct control of the territories, and apply a strict rule on native Indians.
6. Things to know. India was a hotspot for trade from the late 1400s until the mid 1800s. The British East India Company was possibly the largest, most powerful private corporation in history. The British East India Company was the biggest source for revenue for British economy. The company occupied nearly the entire Indian subcontinent during the height of its power in 1857. Its fall was due to its loss of monopoly in India, a rebellion, and the company ran itself broke from prices of war.
