Recapitulation ( Establishment and Extension Of British Empire In India)

India had a trade relation with different European countries from ancient times in the land and sea route. The Indian products had good markets in Europe. In the medieval period the Arabian traders procured Indian goods for the markets of the cities of Venice, Geneva etc of Europe. After the discovery of sea route to India   round the Cape of Good Hope by Vasco-da-gama in 1498, the trade relations of Europe with India increased enormously.In due course Portuguese, Dutch, French, English and other powers of Europe came to India through this route and established trade relations. But it was only the English who overtook all other forces of Europe. The major struggle took place between French and English at Carnatak in south of India. There were three wars at Carnatak. Ultimately British overpowered French and took the lead.

English fought another war at Bauxer ( 1764)against Mirkashem Nawab of Murshibad, Nawab of Ayodhya Suja-ud-daullah, and Mughal Samrat 2nd Shah Alam. British won over the battle and took the responsibility of revenue collection of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa against a revenue of 26 lakhs of Rupees a year (1765) to the then King of Delhi , 2nd Shah  Alam.
