"The East India Company acquired territorial control in India through a combination of alliances, warfare, and diplomacy. Initially, they established trading posts along the Indian coast, gradually expanding their influence and control over various regions. They formed alliances with some Indian rulers, took advantage of existing rivalries, and used military force to defeat and annex territories. Over time, the Companys control expanded, leading to the establishment of British colonial rule in India."
