Admiral of the British fleet J.A. Ballard presents in his study an impressive drama of the rivalry between Europeans for supremacy in the Indian Ocean, in which the most valuable prize was India. Of the four European powers - Portugal, Holland, France and England - it was the English who eventually became the rulers of the Indian Ocean, and therefore, to one degree or another, of all South Asian countries. Based on authentic documents, the author consistently sets out how contacts between Europe and Asia were established and developed from the time of the first maritime trade and military expeditions in the Indian Ocean until the beginning of the 19th century, and at what cost the English maintained their dominance here for two centuries.
