Impact of the East India Company

This is a lesson I have used with Year 8 to discuss the impact the East India Company had on the British Empire and India.

This lesson uses part of Dan Snow’s documentary about the EIC as background before moving on to using sources and scholarship from William Dalrymple’s ‘The Anarchy’.

I have added a link to the bbc bitesize page with the video in the notes.

This lesson was designed for Y8 as part of a unit on the British Empire.
