British/India History

British empire did all developments for his interests only.This was a time when world was moving towards industrialization,they crushed the Indian rural economy and forcefully developed a market for British products.The wealthy power of UK Pound is stands on the looted Indian wealth.
They divided India in seven parts and left a wound named Pakistan in body of India.Actually they benefited from India.

Advances in transportation. India benefited as it made roads, tunnels railways, ship yards and a lot of different things. But most important it made education more accessible.

Network developed a modern economy, schools and colleges founded, hygiene was improved.

Australia – an alliance with England and more wealth to their country.

British owned south Pacific Ocean through Australia. British got numerous of resources at that time , gold in the 1850s but gold gave the impetus it needed to strive for self-government. It gave peace of mind to the Australians knowing that thousands of its criminals were shipped off to the other side of the world with little chance of criminals going back to Britain.

Britain benefited from India because of good resources and raw materials that were needed for clothes, food, houses etc.

Did India gain or lose from British rule? Some recent research suggests that British rule did little for India in economic terms. Britain gained hugely from ruling India, but most of the wealth created was not invested back into the country. For example, from 1860 to about 1920, economic growth in India was very slow - much slower than in Britain or America. India's population only grew by about 1% per year, which also suggests there was not much economic growth. India actually started importing food under British rule, because Indians were growing 'cash crops' like cotton and tea to be sent to Britain.

They developed a coal industry, which had not existed before. Public health and life expectancy increased under British rule, mainly due to improved water supplies and the introduction of quinine treatment against malaria.
Big landowners, Indian princes, the Indian middle classes all gained in terms of job opportunities, business opportunities and careers in areas like the law. Ordinary Indians gained little, but the argument still continues about whether British rule made much difference to their lives. Many historians think that the majority of Indians would have remained poor even if they had been ruled by Indians.

Before the British came, India was one of the richest countries in the world. In 1800, India, China and Egypt (and probably many of the kingdoms of central Africa) were economically more developed than Britain. Indeed the British had nothing for sale that was of interest to the Indians or Chinese. When the British left in 1947, India was poor and industrially backward.

Australia was a good dumping ground for some people that were filling their prisons .Once Australia became established. The British gained enormous financial advantage from cheap Australian wool and primary products such as military forces in many minor wars and the first and second war. Britain benefited from Australian gold rush in the early days which gave British wealth. Australia had many resources that help Britain such as timber and various metals and minerals.

The British came to India to trade and started the The British East India Company. They made India a colony in 1857 and took control of the country. India was under British rule until 1947 when it gained independence.

How was india imperialized?

India's imperialization was caused by British economic interest in India beginning in the 1600's. when they set up trading posts at Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta. The East India company became the power in that country in the 1700's. !

Jun 23, 1757 - The Battle of Plassey began British imperialism in India.

British rule in India is conventionally described as having begun in 1757. On June 23rd of that year, at the Battle of Plassey, a small village and mango grove between Calcutta and Murshidabad, the forces of the East India Company under Robert Clive defeated the army of Siraj-ud-daulah, the Nawab of Bengal. The "battle" lasted no more than a few hours, the outcome had been decided long before the soldiers came to the battlefield.

The British wanted to imperialize India, because they wanted to bring them together as one group and speak the same language. The British wanted to take control of India and combine the tow countries in order to become bigger and stronger. The British wanted to increase the population of English speakers. They were interested in India because of the trading posts they had set up at Bombay. Britain wanted to be their ruler.

The British and the Indians were involved in Imperialism in India. The Indians were very important to the british because of their Nationalist ideas. They wanted to Imperialize India for its potential, not its profit. India supplied materials for Britain. India and Britain fought together, with the British soldiers and the indian soliders (The Sepoys). The British industrialization affected the Indians. Because of the mechanics the british had, India's business's were weakened. The Indians became angry and started to rebel.

(British)

imperialism is a policy of empire building.

Britain had a very large empire in countries such as Australia and India. They entered these countries for cheap raw materials which were sent back to Britain. The colonies then provided a huge market for the manufactured goods. This process prevented the development of manufacturing in the countries with the actual raw materials and therefore prevented them from developing.

Imperialism is rightly judged today as having had an awful effect on the world. British Imperialism is responsible for the slums of India and social problems in Northern Ireland etc.

They are responsible for the deaths of millions. The British people have a lot of blood on there hands.

Yet the British education system which is complete propaganda teaches that British imperialism was a good thing for Britain and the world. Lies.

The Industrial Revolution influenced and provided the basis for British Imperialism in the mid 18th century. India was the first and well established British colony. It housed the base of textile industry which had stimulated the Industrial Revolution. With the help of British advanced technology and innovation, India became the main producer and supplier of cotton to the world population. However, during the first British establishment in India, Britain had met resistance and rebellion from the Indians. The Mogul Empire, the government of India at that time, had far more soldiers and the native land on its side. Nevertheless, Britain was able to subdue the resistance and fend off the Mogul Empire with much fewer soldiers. The magic factor behind this was military technology. The British soldiers carried, where as Mogul warriors did not. With the help of the Industrial Revolution, Britain excelled in weapon production. Another advantage for the British that derived from the Industrial Revolution was shipbuilding. Britain was able to rise as the world naval power over the Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese because of the Industrial Revolution. They produced fleets of massive ships called dreadnoughts. Britain used its naval power as a major advantage. With these ships, Britain could control the seas, trade routes, and even create a blockade. The Industrial Revolution, in way, gave Britain a head-start on imperialism over other European countries. As a result, Britain would dominate in the race of colonization in the late 19th and 20th centuries.
Time line on Australia imperialism.
1. February 7th 1788: Arrival in Australia.
British explorers first set foot on the continent of Australia, on 11 boats with 1530 people, 736 convicts. They hoped to set up a settlement in Botany Bay and to establish prisons away from Britain. This was also the day that the Aboriginal war started, between the natives of Australia and the British.

Importance: This is the start of British Imperialism in Australia. It also is the date that the Aboriginal War started. It is the time that Europeans find a new land that has many resources that can be used in Britain, driving British people to make money from these resources. However it is also the time when the British people encroach on the Aboriginal peoples living environment.

2. 1804: The British flag is raised in Tasmania.
During 1804 the British flag was raised in Tasmania. In addition to this all British settlers were order to shoot and kill all Aboriginals on sight. No matter of age, gender or health. This resulted in the last full blooded Tasmanian dying in 1876.

Importance:
This is important because it shows the British attempt to take over Tasmania and claim it as their own, even though many other people had lived there for many years before. It shows the Eurocentrism of the British. It also shows the point where tensions between the British and Aboriginal people began to boil over.

3. 1823: Martial Law
Conflict between the British and the Aboriginals became so heated that the British proclaimed martial law. This forced the citizens of Australia to follow the laws of the the British Military. In addition ship owners and whalers in Australia called for British intervention on explorers selling guns to the Maori people. The reason behind this was the whalers wanted to minimize conflict with Maori as tensions between the groups were high. This also led to Australia's first Parliament and criminal and civil courts.

Importance: This is important because it shows that the conflict between the Aboriginals and the British can only be settled when one group ceases to exist. It also marked an economic conflict as the people living in Australia wanted the British to stop selling firearms to the Aboriginals, which would mean less money for Britain, so they could win the war and not allow the Aboriginals a chance to fight back. In addition the first Parliament and criminal and civil courts moved Australia toward a more independent, self reliant country.

4. 1868: Criminal Australia
More than 170,000 criminal, from Britain, arrived in Australia in 1868. Because the prisoners were English speaking they turned Australia into a English speaking nation. This also lead to the language known as Strine, which describes the accent Australian's have when speaking English.

Importance: This shows Britain's view of Australia, being, a land mass capable of holding criminals and nothing more. It also signifies Australia as an English speaking country, eliminating all other Aboriginal languages, turning it into a more European country. It also forced the Australian people previously living their to have to deal with the social, political and economical effects, such as more people means more food need to be produced and more jobs created in prisons, of 170,000 criminals living their.

5. January 1st 1901: Self Governing

On January 1st 1901 Australia became a self governing member of the British Empire. This joined the six previous colonies of South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia, New South Wales and Queensland into one country. January 1st is now known as Australia day.

Importance: This marks the end of British Imperialism in Australia. Now that Australia is a self governing country they can do what is best for them, politically, economically and socially, apposed to what is best for the British monarchy. Because of this the Australian people now have freedom over themselves instead of being forced to do what the British feel is right for the citizens of Australia.
