Description: Dan

trading empire. Yet scandal and corruption led to a
curtailment of its powers by the British Government and

Company

However as the company traded opium to the Chinese, a
dangerous chasm opened between India's British rulers and

the mutiny was the final undoing of the East India
Company, which gave way to the Raj by 1858
