What product did the British finally find the chinese people would buy and what problems did it cause?
Britain sold opium to China in return for the many Chinese commodities the British people craved as an alternative to using silver as a medium of exchange. The British had no domestic source of silver, whereas opium from Northeast India was available cheaply in large quantities from the British East India Company.
On which product did the British pass a measure stating that the colonists could buy it from no one but the British?

How the British took control of India?
The East India Company was, strictly speaking, a commercial company. British interests play off one leader against another & seek to divide & rule the Indian provinces. Using Military power alliances are formed over time & a groundswell of popular support is gradually fostered. Quite how it all comes together, the British ruling such a diverse sub-continent, with relatively few resources, is something I do not know enough to answer. But what I do know, which has great resonance today, is that the British never conquered Afghanistan........
