In the 16th century, before England had even stepped afoot India's western coast, the land had succumbed to the whims of another empire that of the Mughals. England then claimed Bombay (present day Mumbai) in 1662, courtesy of Charles II's dowry from his marriage to Catherine of Portugal. The East India Company made Calcutta its headquarters almost a hundred years later through the valiant victories of Robert Clive of India. Out of this storm, the Raj was born. The East India Company ceased to govern a country it could not contain, so Queen Victoria became India's Empress.
