Similarities: Colonization initially in hands of British East India Company, not British government; intervened in wars between rival princes to gain land and authority as Mughal Empire disintegrated; recruited army from among indigenous peoples.

Differences: existence of challenge from French; wars against French and Indian allies led to control of Bengal-Bihar.
