Acquisition of territories from "summary" of The Anarchy by William Dalrymple
The East India Company's hunger for territorial gain was insatiable. It relentlessly sought to expand its dominion, swallowing up vast swathes of land through a combination of coercion, manipulation, and outright force. This insidious process of territorial acquisition was driven by the company's insatiable thirst for power and profit. The company's modus operandi was cunning and ruthless. It exploited the internal divisions and power struggles of the Indian princes, pitting them against each other and playing them off for its own advantage. Through a web of deceit and treachery, the company managed to sow discord and chaos, creating the perfect conditions for its territorial ambitions to flourish. Through a combination of military might and political cunning, the company managed to subjugate entire territories, bending them to its will and exploiting their resources for its own gain. The acquisition of territories was not just about expanding the company's reach; it was about consolidating its power and control over the Indian subcontinent. The company's quest for territorial gain was relentless and unyielding. It stopped at nothing to achieve its objectives, resorting to violence, deceit, and manipulation to further its interests. The acquisition of territories was not just a means to an end; it was a reflection of the company's insatiable appetite for power and dominance. In the ruthless world of colonial expansion, the acquisition of territories was the key to unlocking untold riches and resources. The East India Company's relentless pursuit of territorial gain shaped the course of history, leaving a trail of devastation and destruction in its wake. The concept of territorial acquisition was not just a footnote in the company's history; it was at the very core of its existence.
