    According to them. Even today Israel blows up their own negotiations to justify oppressing Palestinians harder. Colonizers all follow the same playbook. And they absolutely went after the Mughal’s ships, that’s why negotiations broke down and they got stomped.

    And yeah it was absolutely for the crown. The crown wouldn’t have authorized it and fought colonial wars against the Spanish and Dutch if they weren’t using it to spread their rule in all but name. They wouldn’t have allowed the EIC to even exist, same with the Spanish, French, and Dutch companies.

      I think I’d like something more specific and I don’t think you are capable of doing that.
