What did the British do to the mughals?

The British gradually undermined the Mughal Empire through a combination of military conquest, political manipulation, and economic exploitation. Starting in the 18th century, the British East India Company expanded its influence in India, exploiting the Mughal rulers' weaknesses and engaging in warfare. By the mid-19th century, following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the British dissolved the Mughal Empire, formally ending its rule and establishing direct British control over India. This marked the beginning of a significant period of British colonial rule in the subcontinent.
