Salt was one of the most valuable resources in European history.
European governments taxed salt heavily, using food as a tool of political and economic control over the people they governed.
This system of salt taxes, food monopolies, and government control later spread through European empires. In British India, salt laws restricted access to a basic necessity — until Mahatma Gandhi challenged the salt monopoly, helping expose colonial exploitation and push India toward independence.
Salt history shows how food, power, and politics have always been connected.
