When imperialism had broken out throughout all of Europe, India had already experienced a long and dreadful period of British rule. India had predictably tried to reject and “drive the white man out” by having Hindu and Muslim mercenaries rebel against the British troops (Mckay et al 878). Though seen as mutiny from Great Britain’s perspective, India had merely attempted to reject British influence and rule because of Britain’s noticeably tighter grasp on the nation as opposed to it’s other colonies. Eventually, Britain was able to stamp out India’s rebellion and Britain continued to rule strongly over it’s countries.
