The British empire had taken over many colonies, India refused to be one of them. Britain set up trading posts in three cities. One of those cities, the mughal empire collapsed and britain 's posts quickly took control.

The rule of the British Empire in the Indian subcontinent between 1858 and 1947 greatly affected the net economic status of India. Trade was the sole reason for the British East India company arrival in India, for the Industrial Revolution in Britain led to the increase in demand for raw materials in factories and India served as an efficient platform. However, as their influence started expanding, they created new policies and began to colonize India not only economically, but also socially and politically. Historians continue to debate whether the long-term impact of British rule in India was accelerating the economy or declining it. That being said, my paper is going to be assessing the positive and negative impacts on the Indian economy

Between the years 1450 and 1750, the world was changing at a rapid, breakneck pace. Across the globe, Europe expanded and colonialized, scientists and philosophers developed new ideas and inventions, and gunpowder empires formed and reached their peak. On such empire was the Mughal Empire, located in India from the 1500s to the mid-1800s. The rise of the Mughal empire surely highlights the altering political, cultural, and religious landscape of India. From 1450 to 1750, India underwent massive changes in government, culture, religion—paradoxically, religion and the caste system were the shred of continuity in India during that time.
Likewise, the British were also positively affected by India by extracting resources such as opium, cotton, silk, tea, and coffee. The millions of acres under cultivation have added to the immense wealth of the country and have brought the skills and industry of the British to flourish (Doc 4). India has given raw materials and has put up markets in order to sell British goods, as well as becoming an agricultural colony (Doc6). The British, by having such an important colony they became wealthier and India was called the Jewel of the Crown. In addition,
After the classical period the Islamic civilization showed an advancement in a variety of different aspects of their culture. They adopted a lot of it from earlier civilizations but had had a massive contribution on their part. The effect of this is that the Muslim culture and intellectual ideas were very long lasting. The achievements of the Islamic empires contributed to the development of their Golden Age.

Madi Hellwege Imperialism in India After 90 years under imperial rule, India gained its independence from the British in 1947. How could they be under this rule for so long? In 1707, the Mughal Dynasty, the ruling power in India, started to collapse. The East India Company, a British company, took advantage of this opportunity and became the leading power in India.
Eventually in 1858, Britain finally colonized India taking over rule, creating the Raj Era. During the Raj Era, the Industrial Revolution took place in Britain, but it ended up affecting India several ways.
From 1850 to 1914, industrialized European nations used imperialism to seize colonies, dominate the local governments and economies in Africa and Asia. Their motives were both economical and ideological. In Asia, India was dubbed as the “ Jewel of the Crown”, due to the of the amount of wealth Britain obtained from this region. British East India Company established trading rights during the Mughal empire between Britain and India in the 1600s. The company controlled India without much interference from Britain.
Over the following 150 years they extended their empire around India,while remaining dependant on the local rulers who remained in power by paying taxes to the Mughal emperor. Babur’s grandson,Akbar ruled from 1556 to 1605.He introduced an efficient government and encouraged trade. And the Hindu population accepted the Muslim leader due to his religious tolerance. He also ended the tax non-Muslims were made to pay. In Indian society men controlled political and economic power.
In chapters 22 and 23, I learned about the mistakes writers have in regards to sentence structure and wording. An idea that was emphasized immensely throughout these two chapters was that a writer should never repeat their ideas since it adds unnecessary information (CITE). This information was really important for me to learn since I have the tendency to repeat ideas or phrases due to the fact that I either forget that I had already wrote about them or because I feel my thesis needs to be emphasized more. As a result, I will thoroughly review my essays to make sure I remove any redundant information. Additionally, I will practice more ways of writing that will allow me to express the same idea of a paper just in a different format with extra
The Arctic’s Riches The arctic is warming about twice as fast as anywhere else in the world. This could cause some problems. This could kill many things, and destroy the arctic’s environment. It may sound hard to believe, but global warming has brought us something good.
The Mughal rule, which roughly extended from 1526 to 1707, was a period when the political and natural environments of much of the Indian subcontinent underwent drastic change. The Mughals had a deep fascination towards nature but also acknowledged their superiority, both as humans and as royals, over it as well as the tribal societies that lived amidst nature. Their constant involvement in warfare led them to look at the forest and animals such as elephants and horses as precious resources; consequently, the military demands of an empire the size of the Mughals’ took a toll on these resources. Extensively engaging with nature for political and social purposes, the Mughals played an important role in transforming the pluralistic landscapes that fell under their empire. But more importantly, they paved the way for the colonial period to extract resources from nature in an intensive way; the impact of their engagement with nature was felt strongly only during the later colonial period.
