Question

With the death of the last mughal emperor in 1707, how was great britain able to strengthen its presence in india?

Answer 1

Good Morning!
 
With the fall of the Mughal Empire, the British saw an opportunity to seize power in India, since the fragmentation of power, once centered on the Emperor, was now the necessary gap for the entry of the imperialists into that region of Asia. The British led, unlike the Mughal Empire, a policy of modernization, which established a firmer rule in the hands of the queen.
 
Hugs!

Answer 2

After his death the Mughaldynasty's control declined. Bahadur Shah II was the last Mughal Emperor and he did not die until 70 years old and this opened an opportunity to the British to invade the weakening empire. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
