Question

British had a greater financial support during Anglo-French wars because

• A. They encouraged only territorial conquest
• B. They encouraged trade along with territorial conquest
• C. They encouraged only trade
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B They encouraged trade along with territorial conquest

The trade carried on by the English Company was far greater than the French Company. According to an estimate the value of the sale of Indian goods in England between 1736-1735 was Rs 41,200,000 and that of the French goods was Rs 11,450,00. The superiority in trade naturally made the financial position of the English Company far better than that of the French Company.
