CE 1600 - The East India Company is established.

In 1600, the British East India Company was established in London to pursue colonial trade with India and the East Indies.

The Company was granted a monopoly from the British government to trade in the East Indies, as well as the right to make treaties and wage war.

Initially, the East India Company focused on trading with India, China, and Southeast Asia in commodities such as tea, silk, and spices.

The Company eventually became a major political and military power in India, and by the 19th century, it had established control over parts of the Indian subcontinent.

The Company had its own army and navy, and was able to pass its own laws and levy taxes.

The East India Company also established trading posts throughout the region and began to acquire land, leading to the colonization of large parts of India.

In 1858, the East India Company was dissolved and the British government assumed direct control of India.
