Question

When lord wellesley become the governor general of india?

Answer 1

Richard Colley Wellesley, better known as Marquess Wellesley was appointed as Governor-General of India in 1798.

He was one of the greatest of the British rulers of India. The only persons who can stand comparison with him are Lord Clive, Warren Hastings and Lord Dalhousie. In the matter of actual achievement he outdistanced them all.

When Lord Wellesley came to India as Governor-General, the condition of Indian was very critical. The Nizam was angry because the English company had not helped during the Maratha attack. He was organising his army under the French Officer Reymond.
