Lots of mispronunciations and misspellings in this one, sorry about that!
"ceized" instead of "seized," and "Well-es-lee" instead of "Wells-lee."
Thanks!

Please, make a video about how India gained independence :)
I don't understand how the British were able to conquer India with muskets. These guns were slow to fire so the Indian army can easily overwhelm them with numbers
Instead of giving rge British vwrsion of stories..write about the real version..bcoz THE AXE FORGETS BUT THE TREE REMEMBERS, ask the trees abput the oain not the Axe' version..i think u got it....Churchill literally was tge reason fir the Great Famine that killed Millions of ppl, a Genocide i would say, yet he is your hero...
D J, Churchill was not responsible for the famine, that was down to the weather and the person in charge of that area...
The Armchair Historian, the British did not invade and conquer India 🇮🇳, because there was no ‘’India’’ until the British made it...
They beat the small ‘’INDEPENDENT’’ principalities, that were fighting each other constantly. This meant that the impact on trade was too much for the IEC, so they decided to join these up. This was done in the hope that as a single country, they would have stability...
And that’s why the powers to be also didn’t want the India 🇮🇳, Pakistan 🇵🇰 partition to happen. And they did try to stop it from happening, but Gandhi and Jinnah wouldn’t/couldn’t allow a single country to remain in place.....
I love how he stops saying "England" and starts saying "Britain" after 1707 because Scotland joined the union in 1707, brilliant attention to detail!
He really did put a lot of effort into this
Apart from when he said "the English" in 1805 :/
That was because England invaded and colonised Scotland. Scotland till present remains a colony of England. India kicked out England in 1947 (the 1st Brexit)
Nice name that I always die in the game
@M K England is in a union with Scotland you moron, the 1707 act of union which was ratified by both the Scottish and English parliaments after being considered in 1706 which finally passed by both Scottish and English parliamentarians on May 1st 1707.
Before this act of union (which was a politically based union) they only had a 'personal union' which began in 1603 when King James VI of Scots took the English throne in the year 1603 and became King James I of England also - making him a double monarch of two politically separate kingdoms.
Scotland and England before this in the distant past had on and off wars, a tit for tat affair where both invaded each other at times of war and at times of peace shared trade, but neither conquered the other or made the other a colony, sometime English forts were in Scotland and sometimes Scottish forts were erected in the parts of northern England that Scotland invaded. But both ended off on a stalemate, came to share the same monarchs, the same parliament and same currency, foreign affairs and national army each with their own law system, education, Kirk and regional regiments.
It's like what Dr. Shashi Tharoor said in famous Oxford speech - "The sun never sets on the British Empire because even God can't trust the British in the dark." Brilliant and very, very true! 😜🤣🤣🤣🤣

John Cornell India was a country (one geo-political entity) even when there was nothing called Britain.
Well that is true but only for individual princes - the British essential created a new HRE with all the Princely States. But the main conquest was by military force, in the small gap between the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars.
india is a country made by the British, so it's not divide and rule.

In short-
They came as traders, Obtained trade rights from local rulers, misused trade rights, governor of bengal took action, his general was paid off and brits took control of bengal, brits used local rulers against other rulers to gain control of certain region, Subsidary alliance was established with many of local kings allowed deployment of british army in nearly whole India. Doctrine of lapse was imposed mamy kingdome were took over by brits(why they did not resist? Because british army was already deployed in their kingdoms). In 1857 indians revolted, british crown took control, Nationalist movements rose and India gained independence in 1947.
This is The truth The British united India.
@britopia
Almost of the substantially large nations have had a time when their centralised power gradually degraded, British entered India during that phase, we had an empire during the times of Greek civilization which united the Indian subcontinent much before the British could do it for themselves, well at that time, Britian wasn't even discovered. We also had a empire in the mediaeval times, in our sacred texts we recognize our borders through our pilgrimages which are there as far as Himalayas to the "Indian" ocean.
And if the British united us, their politics during the time of departure created divisions after divisions. They left us with a chronic disease (a specific nation) and our coffers all empty.
Kushagra Kulshrestha Britain wasn’t discovered? Haha wtf? The fact is the Brits united India. And India unified as it is TODAY is because of us Brits. India was never truly unified before until the Brits came along.
@@britopia1341 "India was never truly unified before until the Brits came along." Search for Maurya Dynasty, Gupta Dynasty, Mughal empire. India was united under those dynasties.
Speciman So now you’re trying to tell me the Mughals were better then the Brits? Oh dear God. Your saying strict Muslim rulers were better then those that gave India Common Law? You really are a bitter person 😂

Literally in every video with "Britain" in the title: “If you see two fish fighting in water, you can be sure an Englishman passed by five minutes ago.”
So in short, the British did all that conquering in search of..spices? Thats right, European food was so bland and tasteless that they were willing to die in search of flavor 😂 can't make that up!
The spice must flow!
Europeans went and found a new continent in search of Asian spices, it’s actually really funny.
At least European food doesn't give you diarrhea after each meal
most likely because nations that Europe conquered has high demands of spices. it'll be logical to conquer them and force them to only buy spices from you so u can have monopoly over the nation

Fun facts- At this point of time in history, India controlled about 40% of global trade.
They actually didn't the arabs used to buy indian goods and sell to europe. India wasn't even united most people that fought to defeat maratha empire were Indians. So we had Indian Fighting Indians. There was no India . Just bunch of land where people were living with borders based on nature elements like mountains and rivers.
@@2531Prasad well it is true about 40%

@@reactionbuildr1759 Mauryan-Gupta-Harsha-Delhi sult-Mughal-Maratha(If we dont count south India) that is 6 times
@@2531Prasad Arabs only played middlemen in trading the Indian goods. India profited from it and the effective contribution of that trade to world GDP at that time was about 30%. And none of the modern countries/nation states existed back then, so 'There was no Endia' is really an irrelevant point here.
In short....
Europeans came to trade spices
India was in a civil war
The Brits beat the other Europeans
The Brits eventually swept through the rest of the sub-continent
Even the civil war does not happen they would conquer and don't consider it like a big civil war even it is a war the people were happy , learning many great things from our great culture and the british said " India is one of the greatest civilisations , they don't have poor people , their culture and beliefs are way far better than ours."
I wouldn't call it a civil war, it was a time of empires. What is an empire? It's non-democratic monarchies.
The indian subcontinent had empires too. Nobody represented the people of India. What does a poor man care who rules over him when he have no power over that person anyway?
They won the war through many back stabbings. They couldn't win wars in the fields.. lol
THANKS UOU
@Ron Lewenberg no they married locals .
And India was in heavy civil war .
Maratha was in power . They needed time to unified India but Persians ,marathas , British Afghans sll were fighting with marathas .
Fun fact: the Indian subcontinent was the wealthiest region in the world controlling more than 25% of the world GDP up until the late 1700s when the British started gaining more and more power in the subcontinent. Then the Chinese took over that title.
only because of the size of its population
@@lewistaylor2858 No because of its fertile land and natural resources . People were crazy for spices . Black pepper was considered Black gold . It's just like how middle Eastern countries are rich because of Oil .
@@diyaroy5059 per capita, India was never the wealthiest. India certainly had natural wealth but the only reason it was 25% of the world's GDP was due to the fact it had 25% of the world's population.
@@lewistaylor2858 WOW India was never wealthy country , Thats why every fking European and Arab country wanted to reach Here right . Even when Alexander the Great wanted to conquer the world He moved towards India not Europe , He considered Europe as Poor and Backward . It was the Indian King who defeated him and He ran back to Greece. India was already cooking its food in abundance when British were hunting in forests . There was no banking system so What do you consider wealth ? Jewels , Paper Money,Gold what ??? Because all your Jewels are stolen from India n Africa etc . And still in Villages People trade with local goods no use of paper money . Its only the banking system and stupid paper money which makes us poor . Greek Scholars were common in Ancient Indian univerities and same Indian Scholars in Greece . There was enough food Thats why Population is big . We dont hv our land covered in snow or ice for most of the time . But the Great Himalayas provide enough River waters . Thats why Population is mostly concentrated in Northern point . Due to Lack of River and water resources South is not even populated . Just look at tiny island called UK . How it evicted its over Population to settle in USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia and Newzealand .
And let me tell you one thing all our industries were destroyed by British , before Manchester there was Surat and Jalandhar textiles popularised by Romans in west . We know our History . You people should know more about the other older civilisations and empires of the World instead of Newest British Empire 🙏 Thanks

British raj in the indian subcontinent was the largest to ever exist 2nd only to the mauryan empire which collapsed before the birth of Christ.
People keep saying this the truth is that these were puppet states under indirect British control. They did this so that they could harvest the labor and resources of that place without doing any actual administration. For centuries kingdoms like Kerala had always followed this system. They paid heavy annual tribute every year to the major power. this way they were able to stay independent.
@Axiom Steel they were Protectorate not a puppet state. They have their own govt, own constitution, own currency & military

There was no India. India was more like europe..divided by culture and languages. Each kingdom for his own.

They weren't united but they still belonged to each other,you can't compare that with Europe where the country's are completely different and has nothing in common.
I know we were the richest but we allowed everyone in
Spot on. That's basically what happened. Indians sold out on other Indians for British luxuries. The main blame should reside in the Princes and kings and Vedic preists of india. They sold themselves and an entire continent to a foreign invader, and in return when the British left they tied India to the world banking system which puts in place un patriotic and corrupt leaders.

Well sir, being an Indian I agree we weren't having the unity among the 547 princely states or kingdoms. Taking the opportunity of which the British annexed multiple kingdoms. What Lord Wellesley said was wrong about Akbar's rule, because emperor Jalal Uddin Akbar's Mughal Empire which was vast and also covered the land of Marathas and the Sikhs, was also the richest state in the world, having a lot of gold, diamond, pearls and spices under its earth. However The British exploited the land resulting in the widespread poverty in India since 1970s...
Wrong. We actually had a unity before British . Maratha empire was unifying India but failed because of British. India was never a 547 princely states before British. 547 princely states occured only after British left India at 1947 . Because there were no leaders or empires at 1947 . So for 1 year india was separated into 547 states until the legend Sardar Vallabhai Patel came

Can you do one where how Great Britain lost all of its colonies
Unfortunetly if you are British try to become an Empire again
It wasn’t so much loosing as much as giving back, that’s why the colonies like Canada and Australia and NZ, became independent, they were pro empire it just wasn’t economically viable to keep the empire
match box Australia was a dominion colony. Not sure if you said Australia was a dominion or not so sorry if I misinterpreted. But my point isn’t on the treatment of colonies but more that Britain wasn’t forced out of any colonies. It was sought of forced out of Ireland but Ireland wasn’t a colony and it’s kind of part of Britain depending upon your point of view. Also Ireland was the same as Scotland wales and England kind of. As in they were the home territory of the empire if that makes sense.
In Kenya we fought for our independence. We said enough is enough
@match box They weren't 'slave colonies', quite the opposite, slavery was prevalent in many of these regions before British rule and it was the British who outlawed it. They had slave colonies in North America but elsewhere colonies were administered territories without slavery.

it was a nice video, because for me its so interesting to know how the Britain empire grew and grew, becoming one of the most powerful empires at that time, it is also intriguing to see how the English language arrived in different parts of the world like the east of India, sharing their cultures and because of that nowadays the Indian culture is a mix between the British and their old cultures.

Go away. We have our own culture. English is just an official language. Your comment represents ignorance
Great video. But i think you failed in stating the religious and ethnic differences between the various factions of nowadays India. It wasn't as simple as " the Marathans failed to unify India" to this day India still face huge religious and ethnic tensions.
As did Europe. Nothing unique in that. Those tensions existed between kings, not common people. The cleverness of British was in pitting one king against the other.
Schrödinger's Cat “the Germans failed to unify Europe”
The point being that expecting an unified Indian from the Marathans isn’t that simple.
True, at least India is more unified than Europe.
Shivaji the great Are you serious? The marathas stood nowhere in front of the mighty mughal army . Shivaji ran away leaving battle fields many times while fighting the mughal armies.
Concept of a Unified India is relatively new idea.
As always, great research, great narration, great video! Easily my favourite history channel. Keep up the good work, you'll be huge one day!

Crazy, a population of 10 million conquered a population of 260 million.
Population was far less moreover they lured our indian warrior people with white women LoL
If you ever find yourself kicking around Red Fort; sneak on up to the outdoor throne area. There's a wall there that was hit by British cannon ball which has been left exactly as it was that day. Really gives you a feel for the situation there at that time.
Forgive but don't forget.
Do not forget that It is the Brits invaders which created the united country which is India

Would you like to do the Anglo-SIkh wars? I think it would be an interesting subject to cover considering that the Sikh armies were comparable to that of the British at the time.
I would also suggest Travancore-Dutch war were Kingdom of Travancore defeated the Dutch (Most powerful army at the time) at the battle of Colachel
Also the Maori war where the Maori fought incredibly fiercely and admirably, and it is said the British soldiers respected them more than the colonists they were sent to protect
Or the Anglo-Burmese Wars.
Hex maybe also the fall of the mughals as it is very important to understand it in order to learn about the British conquest of India
Colonization of a populated area is a form of conquest, Shivaji the not-so-great... I think you've misunderstood the concepts. The colonization happened through victories of war, like any other conquest. Colonization is just a form of conquest where the victor colonizes through either population replacement or economical exploitation, the latter being the case regarding India. Just to put a definition on the word which you do not comprehend (Conquest). -> "The subjugation and assumption of control of a place or people by military force.".
Sad about the loss of life in India, all for profit and gain - I guess all empires existed for this reason. Thank God this is mostly in our past. India has a glorious history and friendly people. Peace from the UK ✌

There would have been no British colony in india if the mugals and shiks had listened to Gorkhas(Nepal).
The Nepali prime Minister Vimseen thapa had sent letters to both the kingdoms for aid to drive away the Britians from Asia but they had rejected.
And rest is history
Nepal was never colonalized and all other kingdoms were.🤣
Conquest Nepal for what? Snow? European had a lot of them
Face it Nepalese kings still had to pay taxes and do more things for the British
Gorkhas were the most enlisted soldiers of the British lolololololo
Thanks to gandhi.. nehru and many other traitors.
British people were not foolish, they knew what to do wid Nepal. They got free loyal soldiers from Nepal. They knew Gorkhas r very loyal n will not revolt. Campaign against various tribes of Northeast was launched. Jallianwala Bagh massacre was done by Gorkha regiment. Britishers were happy wid Nepal.

By the way I encourage you guys to look up the battle of Palasi, where the Bengal Sultanate was betrayed by it's own high command...
absolutely Mirjafar the fucking betrayer
Indians were fighting for independence from Mughal with Maratha empire, but then Persians came from west and English from South and East with new weapons and tactics which indians were not aware of.
So the due to timing the english got the opportunity admist the already on going chaos
This is the best and accurate short explanation of what happened 👏
This video left out a lot of key events that resulted in British expansion into the South Asian subcontinent. One event or occurences of events was the wars the British had with Tipu Sultan, in alliance with France, in the Anglo Mysore Wars. This led to the British expansion into Southern India after defeating Tipu Sultan.
Incredible work

Many people here are asking why Indians are so hell bent on accusing the British for the destruction of the Indian subcontinent whereas the Chinese do not seem to hold grudge towards British.
Because China was never a colony of British . They occupied some ports and some small patches of land. They just forced Chinese dynasty to accept trade practices which were more favorable towards the British. Whereas British exploited India and its resources to its core. A subcontinent which was one of the richest before the arrival of British was left in shambles. The harmony between the people of different religion and language of the country was totally destroyed. India has been the country which accepted every faith and the assimilation between them was wonderful. But the British knew that they couldn't capture this land without dividing them. So they started providing incentives to the kingdoms which were searching for conquest and captured others kingdoms. Eventually when they became more stronger they overthrew all the kings and only puppet kings were allowed to rule.
Remember that when British left , they left a India with 500 princely states not an united one which all of you seem to think. It was the leaders of India mainly Sardar Ballav Bhai Patel who united all of them.
The fact that we were deprived of the Industrial Revolution and all the resources annoys us the most.
The Indians in general don't hold any grudge towards the present UK, but it pisses us when they act like ignorant children and do not owe the reparations. We are not asking for any economic help since you must know that we would surpass Britain by the end of this Year in terms nominal GDP, we just want you to accept that you also did many atrocities in the past.
And I would suggest all of the people to study History and do a web search before posting these type of ignorant questions.
Good luck to all of you.
"we were deprived of the Industrial Revolution"
India had sophisticated metallurgy and chemical processing for centuries. It could have had an Industrial Revolution before the direct sea route from Europe was even mapped.
@@PastPresented but did it happen during British Raj? No because their motive was to exploit not develop.
The key developments of Britain's industrial revolution were already in place before the Battle of Buxar. Going back even further in time, Tsar Peter the Great of Russia personally worked in Dutch and British shipyards, in order to understand the naval and military technologies they were developing. Not doing something similar was one of many calamitous failures by Indian (and Chinese) rulers. Even just having ambassadors in European capitals sending back copies of the latest scientific journals would have helped. Printing Indian scientific journals so that Indian researchers could support each other would probably have helped even more.
@@PastPresented I do accept that Indians were too busy in internal skirmishes at that point of time but if British would not captured India at that point of that then Rajput were going to. And in few years the stable kingdom would have been able to focus on industry and we had some very good scholars and resources which would have helped in speedy development. British did not just exploit natural resources but also human resources too. You can just look at the literacy figures. Hope you understand.
When in the history of the subcontinent were Indians not "too busy in internal skirmishes"? The British never truly "captured India" which was why Sardar Patel had to be so ruthless after 1947. What the British did do was stop Marathas fighting Tamils, Afghans fighting Sikhs, Pindaris looting everybody ...
As for the literacy figures: printing was originally used well over a thousand years ago to spread Buddhist teachings, yet it remained virtually unused in India, the home of Buddhism, until 200 years ago. That's centuries of wasted opportunities to share knowledge.
“More than 20 times smaller?” Oh, you mean one-twentieth the size or 5% the size.

tea only primarily came from one place. india. without invading india; tea was extremely expensive.
this goes with sugar and salt. all 3 at one point were worth their weight in gold. "colonization" lowered the price to where even a peasant could enjoy a nice cup of tea with sugar. get it?
This video is a nice illustration of "the order in which britain conquered India". but, "How britain conquered India" is quite more than the above story. Plz make a video by including the Britain's tactics as well.
My Grandparents were from the erstwhile Kingdom of Travancore, which was not directly ruled by the British in the South. The British helped us fight Tipu Sultan in the North and then we became a sort of protectorate. An example of this is that we didn't send our army to help them fight World War 1, while other parts of India did.

How to colonize a territory:
- Eng, Fr, Neth, Bel:
Erase the locals or confine them to reserves, repopulate with your own people, build factories and plantations, get some slaves to work in them, enrich the whites through trade and exploitation of resources, turn it into a puppet/failed state, never totally leave.
- Rome, Greece, Spain:
Conquer the land by war and agreements, alphabetize and convert the locals, make them your own citizens, build universities, temples and cities, enrich the whites and the locals through trade and exploitation of resources, get looted by your enemies, collapse.
- Portugal:
Lets do both!
