Its control of the seas, greater resources, and more advanced military training and technology led it to assert its military strength increasingly and caused it to become attractive to a portion of the Indian elite; these factors were crucial in allowing the company to gain control over the Bengal region by 1765 and sideline the other European companies.

Who acts: control, Company, factors · What happens: lead, assert, cause, become, be, allow · To what, where: Company, military strength, control, Bengal region, other European companies
