Did you know the English East India Company’s tea trade was fueled by the opium trade?  

The English East India Company (EIC) – also known as the British East India Company – was an immensely successful trading company founded in 1600 that controlled trade on the Indian subcontinent until 1858. With a massive private army, and the backing of the British government, the East India Company essentially looted India while furthering Britain’s imperialistic policies. The shareholders of the company made millions while India became impoverished, and the British government supported the company’s policies because many of the shareholders were also high-ranking politicians.
