-The level of civilization was still low, compared with Western European, Middle Eastern, Indian, and East Asian civilizations.
2. Why did the management of India fall into the hands of the British government?
-The British were able to take control of India mainly because India was not united. The British signed treaties and made military and trading alliances with many of the independent states that made up India. The British were very effective at infiltrating these states and gradually taking control.
3. How did Britain manage the region?
-In the 16th Century, Britain began to build its empire – spreading the country's rule and power beyond its borders through a process called 'imperialism'. This brought huge changes to societies, industries, cultures and the lives of people all around the world.
