The story of how the
East India Company took over large swaths of Asia, and the devastating
results of the corporation running a country.
In August 1765, the
East India Company defeated the young Mughal emperor and set up, in his
place, a government run by English traders who collected taxes through
means of a private army.
The creation of this new government marked the moment that the East India Company ceased to be a
conventional company and became something much more unusual: an
international corporation transformed into an aggressive colonial power.
Over the course of the next 47 years, the company's reach grew until
almost all of India south of Delhi was effectively ruled from a
boardroom in the city of London.
