What was one main difference between how the British East India Company operated in Mughal India and how the Dutch East India Company operated in what is now Indonesia?

Respuesta :

The British negotiated treaties with local Indian rulers while the Dutch established control through conquest and colonization.
The difference is quite huge, if you only think about it. On one hand, we have the British East India Company which came to Mughal India to negotiate with local Indian rulers, which means their arrival was peaceful. On the other hand, the Dutch East India Company didn't have the same approach - they wanted to conquer and colonize Mughal India and take it over through war.
