The Birtish saw much in India during the time of Imperialism. It was rich with recourses and a large labor force. The East India Trading Co. was set up by the British (and among other Imperialistic powers) to take advantage of the resources in Europe, India, and the New World. The Mughal Dynasty controlled India at this time. The company set up trading posts in Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras. This East India Trading Co. was set up by Queen Elizabeth I in the 1600s. By 1700 the Mughal was in decline and there was no effective central power. The East India expanded its trade and its political power. At the Battle of Plassey in 1757, the English defeated the Mughal governor. Most historians regard this as the start of the British Empire in India. Over the next few hundred years the British slowly laid there laws on the Indian people with taxes, parlamient, and a monoply of trade. in 1857 there was the Sepoy Rebellion. This was a Rebellion of India's finest military men that were direct body guards to the ruler of India. The British put down this rebellion and soon after had complete control over India through it's military and politics.
