You're taking an interesting side of the dispute, but choosing British colonies & the EIC as your examples? Nutty

-
have to disagree with all here. EIC was good at imperialism NOT settler colonialism. Big diff.
-
Brits tried holding back American expansion specifically BC war with natives was unprofitable.
-
What do you think EIC was so good at? &you know there were lots of other for-profit British projects?
-
Running a private govt, trading. But there was never any attempt to settle Brits.
-
Basically all of the UK's problems in the 18th c. &19th c. were due to EIC's massive unprofitability
