How did the British overrule the rulers of a nation and colonized said nation?

Asking this for my 5-year-old niece. I, myself am 21 years old, don’t know how exactly they did it and am exceptionally bad at Humanities.

I don’t quite understand how the Britishers convinced/bewitched/overruled the rulers of a nation. From what I understand, they struck deals and what-not. Can you please explain a **bird’s eye view** of the entire situation so that I can explain it to my niece?

The short answer is the same way the Romans did. They cut deals with local rulers (who didn’t have the power to fight them really) and they shot the dissenters.

It ended up not working in places like America (eventually) because the founding fathers were able to unite enough influential people to make a proper fight over it and we became more trouble than we were worth
