Admirers of British rule point to the economic developments, the legal and administrative system, the fact that India became the centre of world politics. Critics of British rule generally point out that all of these benefits went to a tiny British ruling class and the majority of Indians gained little. Admirers of British rule counter this by saying that most Indians were poor and oppressed by their own leaders before the British arrived, and that British rule was less harsh on ordinary Indians than rule by Indian princes. https://padlet.com/dmarsham/8x2boys/wish/126372633 2016-09-26 14:00:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dmarsham/8x2boys/wish/126372633 https://padlet.com/dmarsham/8x2boys/wish/126372925 2016-09-26 14:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dmarsham/8x2boys/wish/126372925 Life in India in the British Empire mohammedalom https://padlet.com/dmarsham/8x2boys/wish/126373084 2016-09-26 14:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/dmarsham/8x2boys/wish/126373084 The largest rebellion against British rule took place in 1857-58. It was known in Britain as the Indian Mutiny. This was because it began with a rebellion by Indian troops (sepoys) serving in the army of the British East India Company. British rule in India was handled by the East India Company. Indian historians dislike the term 'mutiny' because it suggests that only Indian troops were involved. In fact, once some of the Indian troops did revolt, the rebellion against British rule spread rapidly and involved many local Indian leaders who had a wide range of complaints against British rule. The British preferred to think of the rebellion as a mutiny because this word disguised the huge scale of the rebellion. The word mutiny also covered up the involvement of ordinary Indians. The British preferred to keep this quiet as it suggested that British rule was not widely accepted in India. https://padlet.com/dmarsham/8x2boys/wish/126373861 Make it shorter]]> 2016-09-26 14:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dmarsham/8x2boys/wish/126373861 The British weren't the only ones to have "ruled the world" (though there are many cultures and countries where the British did not "rule"). My guess is historians would take umbrage against--or at least quibble with--the meaning of several words in your question ("able to", "rule", "world")Yes, this is incredible:But the British had the benefit of modern technologies, fast transportation, etc.In more ancient times, technology, as always, helped pave the way to conquest. But given the slowness of travel and information transfer, the Romans were pretty damn amazing:as were the Mongols, who ruled more than 25% of the world's population (compared to the British 20%): https://padlet.com/dmarsham/8x2boys/wish/126375917 2016-09-26 14:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/dmarsham/8x2boys/wish/126375917 The British Raj was the rule of the British crown in indian subcontinent inbetween lasotamateusz https://padlet.com/dmarsham/8x2boys/wish/126376083 2016-09-26 14:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dmarsham/8x2boys/wish/126376083 life in America during the British Empire https://padlet.com/dmarsham/8x2boys/wish/126380489 The first great crisis of British rule in North America came in the 1770s. Throughout the 1760s and 1770s British settlers in the Thirteen Colonies were becoming increasingly discontented about aspects of British rule. Above all, they resented the taxes and duties that the British put on to the goods they traded. They felt that if the colonies paid taxes, they should be represented in Parliament. King George refused and the discontent increased. By the 1770s a number of rich and powerful American colonists were convinced that the only way that America would be ruled fairly would be if it ruled itself. The result of this view was the American Revolution, which began in 1776 and resulted in the defeat of the British in 1783. The Thirteen Colonies became the United States of America.
