Explanation

Nizam Ali Khan (Asaf Jah II) was the ruler of Hyderabad when Lord Wellesley signed the first Subsidiary Alliance treaty in 1798. This alliance system made Hyderabad dependent on British protection while allowing the Nizam to maintain nominal sovereignty. The treaty established a pattern for other princely states.
