Reasons+for+Colonization

=** __Reasons For Imperialism__  ** = = __ Needs and Wants __ = = Known as Britain's " jewel in the crown", India became a highly valued colony during the European Age of Imperialism. The industrialization in Britain called for a stronger need for raw materials. India's high population was also a great new place to sell British goods. Large plantations in India grew cash crops such as tea, indigo, coffee, cotton and jute, which is a fibrous plant that was used in making string and rope. = = __ Restrictions __ = = Many restrictions were put on India and Indian goods in order to make them Britain's property. One restriction banned Indian competition with British products. One major effect of this was India's textile industry. Cheap English cloth flowed into India causing the Indian textile factory to go completely out of business. Another restriction was that India could only sell their materials to Britain. This caused Britain to get all the materials from India without them having to worry about losing any materials to other countries competing with them. A third restriction was that India could only buy British goods. This goes back to having a new market to sell British goods .=
