Answer:
1. The Subsidiary Alliance System was “Non-Intervention Policy” used by Lord Wellesley who was the Governor-General (1798-1805) to establish the British Empire in India. According to this system, every ruler in India had to accept to pay a subsidy to the British for the maintenance of the British army.
2. When the administration collapsed, the British used it as an excuse for annexing the kingdom on grounds of misgovernment.
3. When the third Anglo-Maratha war was completed, the Maratha ruler Peshwa Baji Rao II accepted the alliance. This was done to gain a final control over his kingdoms which were taken away by the British. Apart from this, the Peshwa, Bhonsle and Sindhia also accepted the terms and conditions of the Subsidiary Alliance.
