Lord Wellesley (1798-1805)
- Lord Wellesley decided that the time was ripe for bringing as many Indian states as possible under British control.
- By 1797, the two strongest Indian powers, Mysore and the Marathas, had declined in power.
- The Third Anglo-Mysore war had reduced Mysore to a mere shadow of its recent greatness and the Marathas were dissipating their strength in mutual intrigues and wars.
- Political conditions in India were propitious for a policy of (British) expansion: aggression was easy as well as profitable.
