Apparently, this is how Britain 'ruled' throughout the so called empire. It is the absurdity of colonizing pple by their own help! Thisvis why British, though 'the largest empire' was also 'the fastest collapsing empire'. It didn't require a fighting. It only required people to wake up one day in long trousers!š

Drekx response: We allowed the maharajas to rule India, on our behalf...And they were pledged loyalty to the Viceroy, who was British..We also had British Army there, conscripting Indians into the forces...We also had a vast civil service and employed many Indians to work in it....
There were two phases of difficulty for the Empire.....The Indian Mutiny of 1857....
And from that time the East India Company handed over the reigns of imperial power to the Crown....
The second tense moment was the post WW2 period, which was a time of much bloodshed....After Britain left, having granted India independence, Pakistan and Bangledesh separated from India and a massive war broke out between Hindus and Moslems......
India had been successfully defended from Japan, in WW2, so I did not define that period as too serious, albeit wartime India..

It seems that Britain was yet another huge paper tiger!!š
Drekx response: Dear boy I suspect that although you know a certain amount, there is an historical blind spot as to how big the British Empire actuially was....And noting also, that the Royal Navy dwarfed all others...Yes, even mighty USA was not there, where Britain was.....
This map was from 1921, at the territorial max of about 13,000 square miles...One quarter the land surface of the Earth and dominant in most seas and oceans...
That is how little ol' Britain could defend Ethiopia, when nobody else could, back in 1935.....
