(A) 1801 — (III) Subsidiary Alliance introduced in Awadh: Lord Wellesley forced the Nawab of Awadh, Saadat Ali Khan, to sign the Subsidiary Alliance in 1801. Under this treaty, the Nawab had to disband his own army and allow a British contingent to be stationed in his territory, effectively losing his independence.

(B) 1856 — (I) Nawab Wajid Ali Shah deposed: On the grounds of "misgovernance," Lord Dalhousie formally annexed Awadh to the British Empire in February 1856. The last Nawab, Wajid Ali Shah, was exiled to Calcutta (now Kolkata). This event was a major cause of the 1857 uprising.

(C) 1857 — (IV) Mutiny starts in Meerut: The Indian Rebellion of 1857 began as a mutiny of sepoys of the British East India Company's army in the garrison town of Meerut on May 10, 1857, after which the soldiers marched to Delhi.
