    The document discusses how steamships reduced travel time from Britain to India from years to weeks, allowing the British East India Company to take advantage of the declining Mughal Empire in India and begin conquering India in the 1750s. It also mentions how the British later established control over India through the use of Indian soldiers (sepoys), who mutinied against the British in 1857, leading to further British reprisals and direct British government rule over India through a British viceroy.
