Was a princely state of the British Raj in modern-day Gujarat, in India.

Establishment

January 1806: After the Second Anglo-Maratha War (1803-1805), the East India Company wrested control of much of Gujarat from the Marathas. However the Gaekwads of Baroda (Vadodara), made a separate peace with the British, entering into a subsidiary alliance which acknowledged British suzerainty and control of the state's external affairs in return for retaining internal autonomy.
