British colonial rule refers to the period of time in which the British Empire held dominion over various territories around the world. This rule included territories such as India and Africa, where British administrators and armed forces imposed their control. The British Empire began in the 16th century and lasted until the 20th century, with India gaining independence in 1947. During this time, there were significant economic stagnation and lack of advancement in the territories under British rule. The colonization was met with resistance, leading to conflicts such as the American Revolution in 1775. Overall, British colonial rule was characterized by exploitation, disruption of local cultures, and the imposition of British authority over indigenous populations.
