Why did Great Britain want to imperialize India?
Economic reasons and those reasons only find out more when you type in did great Britain help or hurt India on GoogleBritain wanted more raw materials and they knew India had vast amounts. Britain wanted to trade cotton for spices from Indonesia but Britain didnt have cotton. So they took over India and got their cotton and raw materials for their industries.With British merchants in control of India's foreign trade and with the financing of this trade centered in London, a three-way exchange developed: the tea Britain bought in China was paid for by India's exports of opium and cotton to China. And because of a rapidly increasing demand for tea in England, British merchants actively fostered the profitable exports of opium and cotton from India.From Michael Parenti's book "Againts empire" we find he says: "The massive poverty we associate with India was not that country'soriginal historical condition. British imperialism did two things:first, it ended India's development, then it forcibly underdevelopedthat country."
