Lord Wellesley\u00a0<\/strong>to\u00a0bring Princely states\u00a0<strong>under the control of the British.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To counter the intrigues of Napoleon and any further development of\u00a0French Power in India, Wellesley, introduced Subsidiary Alliance\u00a0<strong>to eliminate the French Power from India and to maintain British Supremacy in India.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An Indian ruler entering into a subsidiary alliance with the British had\u00a0<strong>to accept British forces in his territory and also agreed to pay for their maintenance.<\/strong>\u00a0If they couldn\u2019t afford it, they had to cede some territory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rulers were required\u00a0<strong>to seek British approval before engaging in any foreign relations or warfare<\/strong>\u00a0with other Indian states.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A\u00a0<strong>British resident was stationed at the court of the allied state\u00a0<\/strong>to oversee and influence local governance and policies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The\u00a0<strong>Indian ruler would not recruit any Europeans other than the British<\/strong>, and if he were already doing so, he would dismiss them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Major states under subsidiary alliance include\u00a0<strong>Hyderabad, Mysore, Awadh, Tanjore, Bharatpur and others.<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Nizam of Hyderabad (1798)<\/strong>: First to accept the Subsidiary Alliance, in September 1798 and again in 1800, securing British military support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ruler of Mysore (1799)<\/strong>: Accepted the alliance in 1799 after the defeat of Tipu Sultan, placing Mysore under British protection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ruler of Tanjore (1799)<\/strong>: Entered the alliance in October 1799, leading to increased British influence in Southern India.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nawab of Awadh (1801)<\/strong>: Accepted in November 1801, which marked the beginning of Awadh\u2019s gradual decline under British control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peshwa (1801)<\/strong>: Signed the alliance in December 1801, significantly weakening Maratha\u2019s power and sovereignty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bhonsle Raja of Berar (1803)<\/strong>: Agreed to the terms in December 1803, furthering British dominance in Central India.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sindhia (1804):\u00a0<\/strong>Accepted in February 1804, consolidating British influence in the Maratha Empire.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rajput States (Jodhpur, Jaipur, Macheri, Bundi):<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Accepted in 1818<\/strong>, bringing much of Rajasthan under British control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ruler of Bharatpur: Also accepted in 1818<\/strong>, ending significant resistance in the region.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Holkars (1818)<\/strong>: The last Maratha confederation to accept the alliance in 1818, marking the end of Maratha\u2019s independence
