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 british typically had the most, or second most, powerful military in the world. They even fought two entire wars with China because China wanted to make opium illegal and the Brits wanted the income from selling opium to the addicted Chinese. They overruled nations by threatening them with a terrifying military.
