I declare the English East India Company
the company’s first sea vessel set sail under Captain John Lancaster. They reached the Cape of Good Hope, Nicobars, Aceh, and Bantam. They returned with 467,000 kilos of pepper
Thank You, Captain!
Good job gentlemen will be arriving to the mainland to export this pepper.

Sirajuddaulah the nawab of Bengal refused to grant large tributes of the companies right to trade and stopped them from fortifying their factory .
Your demands are very stupid and will not be considered and stop fortification immediately
Mir Jafar - commander of the Bengal Armed Forces conspired with the British offering them trading rights. He became the Nawab of Bengal after defeating Sirajuddaulah .
The British won the Battle of Plassey and this gave the British the freedom of doing anything in Bengal as they had a puppet nawab
Yes, We have won the war! We have expanded our territory!
