Explanation:
In 1788, the colonization of Austria began ... * ahem * Australia
In Europe, meanwhile, one Cake raged. As a result of the war, Great Britain captured the Ionian Islands, Malta, Seychelles, Mauritius, Saint Lucia, Tobago; Trinidad was taken from Spain, Guyana and the Cape colony from the Netherlands.
In Asia, Britain had the goal of spreading its influence in India and China.
The British ruled India with the help of the East India Company, and for a long time it was effective. Moreover, the principalities are governed by locals who are subordinate to the British (if that has always been a hired army. You never know)
