Example Question #291 : 1500 C.E. To 1900 C.E.
This Empire had control over much of the Indian subcontinent prior to the arrival of the British Empire.
The Tamils
The Mongols
The Mughals
The Kazakhs
The Khmers
The Mughals
Prior to the arrival of the British, the Mughal Empire controlled much of the Indian subcontinent—particularly northern India. Their capital city was Delhi. The Mughal rulers claimed descent (although this is disputed by historians) from Genghis Khan and the other notable Mongolian Khans, but it is fairly certain they were Central Asian people with a mixture of Turkish and Mongolian ethnicity. They arrived in the Indian subcontinent in the sixteenth century.
Example Question #292 : 1500 C.E. To 1900 C.E.
The British Empire emerged from this conflict with primary economic control over the Indian subcontinent.
The War of Austrian Succession
The Crimean War
The Seven Years' War
The Napoleonic Wars
World War One
The Seven Years' War
The Seven Years' War is often referred to by historians as the first truly global war. At the time, the colonial possessions of France and Britain were extensive, spanning North America, Africa, Asia, Oceania, and Central America. The war resulted in a victory for the British, and the French ceded certain territorial possessions on the Indian subcontinent, agreeing to recognize British economic superiority on the subcontinent. This is the beginning of British domination over India, which would last until Indian independence, two centuries later.
