The answer is England.
Prior to its fall, the Munghal Empire was already In the process of
decline. A series of wars led to the
loss of territories in the Munghal Empire.
As a result of these losses their power and resources were now
limited. Later it gave support to the
Indian Rebellion when Emperor Bahadur Shah II issued a firman. When the rebellion was put down, he put on
trial by the British and for treason and was exiled to Rangoon. The British then formally took over the
remains of the empire. The Government of
India Act of 1858 allowed the British Crown to formally rule over India through
the new British Raj.
