The British conquest of Malaya began in the late 18th century, primarily driven by economic interests in tin and rubber. They established a foothold through the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824, which divided control of the Malay Archipelago between Britain and the Netherlands. Subsequent treaties and military interventions allowed them to expand their influence, culminating in the establishment of the Straits Settlements and the Federated Malay States by the late 19th century. The British utilized a strategy of indirect rule, forming alliances with local sultans while maintaining overall control through military and administrative means.
