The British gained a foothold in India primarily through the activities of the British East India Company, which initially focused on trade in spices and textiles. Following the decline of the Mughal Empire in the 18th century, the Company exploited political instability and engaged in military conflicts, gradually expanding its control over key territories. The pivotal victory at the Battle of Plassey in 1757 allowed the British to gain significant influence in Bengal, setting the stage for further territorial expansion. Over time, this led to direct British rule after the Indian Rebellion of 1857, marking the beginning of the British Raj.
