British East India Company

The British East India Company was a private company founded in 1600 that was granted a royal charter by Queen Elizabeth I. The company was formed for the purpose of establishing trade between England and the East Indies, specifically India. The company quickly gained a monopoly on British trade with the East Indies and became one of the most powerful companies in the world. It had its own private army, controlled large territories and even minted its own currency. It played a significant role in the colonization of India and the shaping of British imperialism in the region. The British East India Company was dissolved in 1874 after the Indian rebellion of 1857.
