Economic Imperialism led to India's colonization by enabling British control over trade and resources. The British East India Company initially established trading posts and monopolized key commodities like textiles and spices, undermining local economies. As Indian rulers were weakened through military and political maneuvers, the Company expanded its influence, ultimately leading to direct British governance after the 1857 rebellion. This transformation solidified India's status as a British colony, facilitating the extraction of wealth and resources for Britain's industrial needs.
