Britain annexed a large part of India for its empire.
Explanation: The British East India Company gradually gained control of Indian territory through wars, treaties (subsidiary alliances), and annexations (e.g., the Doctrine of Lapse). After the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the British government took direct control from the Company via the Government of India Act 1858, establishing the British Raj.
