3. Imperialism in India
Seven Years’ War( )-leaves Britain as major power in India
Indirect Rule- Majority of country was in Indians hands
Traditional princes were allowed to control their provinces
British East India Company- rules India until 1857
Aim was to profit from selling Indian cotton cloth, silk and sugar

4. Sepoy Mutiny
Over the years Sepoys(Indian soldiers) feel they are being treated unfairly
1857-Sepoys refuse to use the cartridges supplied for their new rifles
End of cartridges had to be bitten off before being loaded
Rumored to be greased with cow and pig fat
Goes against religious beliefs of Muslims and Hindus

The British suppressed the rebellion and abolished the British East India Company
India would now be controlled directly by the Crown of England(Direct Rule)
