How did britain's trade practices impact india?

write your response in two to three complete sentences.

The main goal of the British invasion of India was the wealth that they were going to get through trade. The British had already developed the industry, so they were able to create final goods very quickly, efficiently, and cheaply. By having India under their control, the British were able to take the natural resources and raw materials for free or for very low prices, manufacture them, and then sell them in India or other places for much higher prices. This type of trade led to accumulation of lot of wealth by the British. They were getting the natural resources and materials for almost nothing, and then they were selling the products in the places from where they took away the natural resources and raw materials. This led to loss of natural resources and raw materials for little to no compensation, while also paying for the final products, so India, as many other colonies was very negatively impacted by this way of trade.

the first phase of the government’s plan for settlement was building the transcontinental railroad. the railroad provided a way to bring settlers and manufactured goods west and ship their agricultural and mining produce east. the transcontinental railroad was an essential artery for rapid development of the frontier.

the second phase of the government’s plan was a liberal land distribution policy that made it possible for many people to homestead. with these two key elements—transportation and cheap land—the government rapidly achieved its goal of persuading people to move west, settle on farms, and push back the frontier.
