This house believes that Britain had good economic impacts on Britain
I do believe in this statement. There are many statistics, and viewpoint to provide enough evidence to prove this.
Before the British conquered India, it was split into colonies. This was mainly due to the fact that there were no such transport links to travel across India, unless you had a car- which of course would have been extremely expensive, or you walked.
The British started their major improvement in India- to transport. Transport meant that different goods could be imported and exported throughout the country, meaning more money would be able to be collected.
The British also, after defeating India, supplied them with gold, in exchange for goods. This was a win : win situation, because both countries got what they wanted.
The Brits, aware of the lack of water in India, supplied the country canals, to transport water to dry areas.
More on the importing and exporting of goods- The value of Bengal’s export trade rapidly increased by a margin of 57m rupees from 1777-1828.
India started receiving increasing cotton per year. It was extremely cheap, and therefore provided sufficient clothing for people.
The number of Bullocks and Cows also increased, suggesting improved living conditions, and more money could be made by cow trading and transfers.
The population of India grew vastly, also suggesting major standard of living improvements. This also meant more people could be used for jobs, to increase the GDP of India and to provide enough food and water to meet a family’s needs
Only £400,000 was spent in India on transport links, which is extremely cheap, considering the size of India.
Over the years, India’s exports AND imports grew vastly, proving a stable country for the people, and for the economy, considering the cost of imports and the price of exports most probably balanced themselves out
Overall, £54,421,688 was spent over the revolution of India under the British, which
