jan 1, 1858 - British Colonization of India
Description:
The East India Company finances were in shambles, and the company's effectiveness in India was examined by the British crown after 1858. As a result, the East India Company lost its powers of government and British India formally came under direct British rule, with an appointed Viceroy of India. The East India Company was dissolved the following year in 1858. A few years later, Queen Victoria took the title of Empress of India.Added to timeline:
