Answer:
~ Lord Wellesley (as Governor General) came to India in 1798 at a time when the British were locked in a life and death struggle with France all over the world.
~ 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.
