Annexation of Awadh(1856)

The kingdom of Awadh was annexed by the British on account of ‘misgovernance’.

Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, the Nawab of Awadh was accused by the British of having misgoverned his state. His state was therefore annexed in 1856 by Lord Dalhousie.

Awadh was the only Indian state whose ruler Nawab Wajid Ali Shah was dispossessed on the ground of “misgovernnance”.

Conquest of Punjab

After the death of Ranjit Singh in 1839, there was a state of anarchy in Punjab.

Conquest of Punjab was completed in 1849.

British efforts to control Punjab resulted into two wars.

In the First Anglo-Sikh War (1845–1846), the British defeated Sikh troops and the Treaty of Lahore was signed.

To avenge the defeat in the First Anglo-Sikh war, Sikh troops started a number of revolts leading to the Second Anglo-Sikh War (1848-1849). The war ended with whole up Punjab under British control.
