Hey mate

Here is your answer

Subsidiary alliance is a system developed by the East INDIA Company. mainly by Lord Wellesley. It solved the problem of ruling a nation which is under the rule of a king.

Some of a subsidiary alliance were:

  • An Indian ruler entering into a subsidiary alliance with the British had to accept British forces in his territory and also agreed to pay for their maintenance.

  • Such a ruler would not form an alliance with any other power, nor would he DECLARE war against any power without the permission of the British.

  • The ruler would not employ any Europeans other than the British, and if he were already doing so, he would dismiss them.

  • In case of a CONFLICT with any other STATE, the British would decide what to do, and he woul accept their solution.

  • The ruler would acknowledge the East India Company as the power in India.

  • In return for the ruler accepting its conditions, the Company undertook to protect the state from external dangers and internal disorders.

  • If the Indian rulers FAILED to make the payments required by the alliance, then part of their territory was to be taken away as a penalty.
