Explanation

The first Subsidiary Alliance Treaty was signed in 1798 between Lord Wellesley and Nizam Ali Khan (Asaf Jah II), the ruler of Hyderabad. This treaty required the Nizam to maintain British troops and disband his own army, effectively making Hyderabad a British protectorate. Sikandar Jah ruled later (1803-1829), while Muzzafar Jang and Salabath Jang were from different periods.
