The British East India Company was chartered in 1601 by Queen Elizabeth. Although originally set p to compete with the Dutch in the spice trade in what is now Indonesia, the British were kicked out of the spice line by the massacre at Ambon in 1629, and thereafter focused on India. After the Battle of Plassey in 1756, the company became a major power broker in Indian politics and gained control over more and more area. In 1837 the company's monopoly on the China trade was abolished removing their largest profit sector. They became an agent of the British Government in the governing of India and received tax monies for this purpose. However in 1856 the "Sepoy Rebellion" (or first Indian War of Independence ) broke out, and in the aftermath the company was removed from the Indian Government. It was officially dissolved in 1876. The is a book called "The East India Company" that is a good general history at Amazon. The BBC British History web is probably the best on-line resource:
