The East India Tea Company was not a beneficent organization. The true test of an empire’s supposed benevolent motives is when they conflict with their commercial interests. I am not saying that the British Empire was totally bereft of such motives, but they were not what brought them to India, or the North American continent, or anywhere else. In some ways they helped India, such as in eradicating the Thugs and introducing modern medicine and education, but when push came to shove, they massacred Indians, whether Hindus, Sikhs or Moslems, and not so long ago, either. As for the conquest of the Ottomans, that had nothing whatever to do with liberating Arabs or establishing a homeland for Jews.
Did not the British increase their efforts when it had an empire towards India once we Americans fought and won our independence from the British?
It took the British to have put together a then British colony that would in time become the nation of Israel.
But in the beginning the Brits were barely able to defend their own stuff in England, and the battle to the top took centuries.
By 1700 the King of England was using it as a place to send refugees to England or Quakers ~ still, earlier, the Swedes had pretty much dispatched most of the Eastern Sa'ami tribes to cut down pine trees for shipping, and the Dutch had worked out some of their problems and had a piece of the fur business there in manhattan island.
We all know the story ~ don't we.
