Malaya was under British rule from the late 18th century until the mid-20th century. The British established control over the Malay Peninsula through various means, including treaties and military interventions, beginning with the founding of Singapore in 1819. The British consolidated their influence with the formation of the Straits Settlements and later the Federated Malay States in the early 20th century. This colonial rule effectively lasted until Malaya gained independence on August 31, 1957.
