It made Britain a powerful nation again because the cotton industry it gained from making India imperialist, boosted foreign trade. India, became focused on cotton for economic needs and many people started hating the British for that. Due to this, many people such as Gandhi began telling people to spin their own cotton and not to buy the British. (The British made India make cotton to sell to them, and then the British would sell the cotton back to India at a higher price.
