Which of the following ranges best identifies the amount of wealth that the British Empire extracted from India? (1 point)

Answer 1

The wealth extracted from India by the British Empire is a topic of significant historical debate, but estimates suggest that the British drained approximately £1-2 trillion (adjusted for inflation) over the course of their rule from the 18th century until India's independence in 1947. This figure represents a broad estimate of the economic resources and wealth transferred from India to Britain, including profits from trade and exploitation of resources. If presented with specific ranges, options within that general ballpark would best reflect historical estimates of wealth extraction.
