What does the East African leader say that makes it clear that the East Africans are serious about keeping their lands?
They are ready for war, if necessary; they would rather die in a fight than become German subjects

The canal in Egypt shortened the sea route from Europe to Asia, saving months of travel

Sepoys- Indian soldiers led by British officers

East India Company
* Brought British government and British ways to the lands it controlled
* Made agreements with the Indian princes to protect their business
* Took India's raw materials for British industry
* Sell British industrial goods in India




Great Mutiny

* 1857 anger flared into rebellion
* sepoys and Indian people mutinied against the company
* British soldiers were sent to India and the Great Mutiny ended

How did it lose that authority? The Great Mutiny ended that control

* destroyed the British supplies of opium stored at Guangzhou
* used the gunboats to defeat the Chinese
* signed a treaty in 1842 giving the British trading rights
