The Sepoy Mutiny or the Indian Rebellion of 1857 was a bloody uprising against British rule in India. It brought the end to the East India Company and was a small victory for the natives, as the British took direct control of India.
The British government took direct control of India in 1858 following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, which was a significant uprising against East India Company rule. This transition marked the end of Company rule and the beginning of the British Raj, during which India was governed directly by the British Crown. The Government of India Act 1858 established this new regime, aiming to stabilize British authority and improve administration in the region.
The British East India Company faced significant challenges due to rising anti-colonial sentiments and resistance from local populations in India, particularly during events like the Sepoy Mutiny in 1857. Economic strains and mismanagement, coupled with increased competition from other European powers, further weakened its position. Ultimately, the Company was dissolved in 1874, and its administration was transferred to the British Crown, marking the end of its direct control over India.
The British first arrived in India around 1600. They came to trade. The British East India Company was formed to facilitate that trade. The French were also there. At the end of the Seven Years War (1756-1763), the French lost there trading rights in India and the British East India company began to establish greater control, generally through agreements with the Mughal rulers. By the 1840's the British East India Company had control of much of India. In 1857, the Sepoy troops used by the BEIC rebelled against the British. Conditions were bad in India. Following the rebellion, the British government ended the charter of the British East India Company and took over the management of India, making it a colony. Queen Victoria became the Empress of India. It remained a British colony until 1947. This time period is known as the British Raj.
East End Dwellings Company was created in 1882.
