In less than half a century it had trained up a private security force of around 260,000 men – twice the size of the British army – and had subdued an entire subcontinent, conquering first Bengal and finally, in 1803, the Mughal capital of Delhi itself. ![]() The creation of this new government marked the moment that the East India Company ceased to be a conventional international trading corporation, dealing in silks and spices, and became something much more unusual: an aggressive colonial power in the guise of a multinational business. In August 1765 the East India Company defeated and captured the young Mughal emperor and forced him to set up in his richest provinces a new government run by English traders who collected taxes through means of a vast and ruthless private army.

Some landowners object to beavers, incorrectly thinking the dams interfere with water supplies. Ponds protect beaver lodges from predators. Ecosystem engineers, beavers build dams almost anyplace where water can be impounded, wood is available, and habitat can be improved (from their perspective). Their dams and ponds were eliminated to create farmland. Beavers were hunted for their water-resistant fur, used for hats and clothing, and their castoreum, used in medicine and perfume. Today, only 10 to 15 million beavers remain. ![]() ![]() In North America, between 100 and 400 million beavers existed prior to European colonization and could be found in nearly every watershed.
