India was ruled by the british crown
It was ruled by the British East India Company
Once more the british crown
the primary reason for colonisation was profit
I find this hilarious cuz from ur pfp's it looks like the emperor and a hippy are arguing over politics
The africas were to poor to be worth colonizing though.
not true
Yes true
diamond mines, slaves
gold
petrol
Slaves were not a thing in france nor england during the colonizing
There's a reason Africa was colonised last, it wasn't as profitable
Petrolium isnt a very profitable venture in africa
if anything diamonds
?
Petrol later on
more in the 20th century
Even then diamonds werent really found until 1940-1990s
Gold ok i can see why they might do it for gold
exactly why Africa was colonised last, not as profitable
not until late 19th century
1870 I think
where you could make more money, you can bet there were colonists
throughout East Asia for spice, the gold in South America
They werent even aware of many diamonds, gold, oil, or any other useful resources in africa during the 1870s
European powers used Africa to gain slaves
it was an important part of the Atlantic slave trade
slaves from Africa to America, the goods from America to Europe
Once again slaves werent really a thing the 1800s
sure they had them early 19th century
slavery was still unofficially going on in a lot of colonies
idk about that but ill assume youre right. but its trade was largely eliminated after 1840s
the economic worth of slaves were diminishing anyways
Even then the only place to have slight economic worth would be India
