Explanation: The British East India Company was a British corporation which, in the 1700s and 1800s, managed to worm itself into power over most of the Indian subcontinent, ruling over Indian kings and princes - including a company army that was larger than the actual British army. Talk about regulatory capture!
Akshually…East India Company is a term…you have to put a specific country before it. For instance…we Dutch often shout “GEKOLONISEERD!!!” when Dutch are mentioned anywhere on the internet, which is a direct reference to the Dutch East India Company robbing a country blind…maybe here and there a little human rights violations and pillaging.
It doesn’t really matter, the Dutch east India company did the same as the British one, only in Indonesia. They too had their own army and we’re setting the laws there.
