Question

give reason why was awadh annexed by the british​

Answer 1

Explanation:

English armies had defeated the Nawab of Awadh already in the battle of Buxor in 1764 and this started a long process of ceding territories, signing unfavourable treaties and eventually complete loss of power. Wajid Ali Shah was the last Nawab of Awadh. In 1856, his kingdom was annexed by Dalhousie, Governor General of the East India Company on the grounds of internal misrule. It was in Awadh where the first great revolt of Indian Independence started in 1857 AD.

awadh was annexed because of the Doctrine of Lapse policy. This policy meant that is a ruler dies without a male heir there Kingdom will automatically come under Britishers rule.
