The most wealthy colony that Britain sought to take over was India, particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries. India's vast resources, including spices, textiles, and later, tea and opium, made it incredibly valuable to the British Empire. The British East India Company initially established trade and control, leading to direct British rule after the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857. India's wealth significantly contributed to Britain's industrial growth and global dominance during the colonial period.
