Long before the United States of America became the biggest bully on the block, there was the United Kingdom.
And long before the British empire became the organizing principle of the United Kingdom, there were vast numbers of British multi-nationals seeking new markets around the globe, competing with their Dutch, Portuguese, French and German counterparts.
For those who have done a degree of research, they will have learnt about the East-India company which was responsible for commercial activity between India and the UK.
They will also know that the royal charter was granted to the British East-India company to do business in India and what’s more, Her Majesty’s charter enabled the company to raise taxes and private armies to keep the peace in India.
And when the natives dared to revolt, the retribution by the private army of the East India was so extreme that the British government had to intervene to administer India’s affairs from Westminster.
The brutal suppression of the natives was replicated in Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, South Africa, Nepal, Malaysia, China and the West-Indies.
