Anne of Great Britain vs Fateh Singh Gaekwad

Anne's reign saw Britain's involvement in the War of the Spanish Succession against France and Spain. British forces under the Duke of Marlborough achieved major victories at Blenheim, Ramillies, and Oudenarde. The war ended with the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713.

Anne supported the Occasional Conformity Act (1711) and the Schism Act (1714), which aimed to strengthen the Church of England and suppress dissenters. These acts reflected her high church Tory sympathies and her commitment to Anglican supremacy.

Anne gave royal assent to the Acts of Union, which united the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland into the Kingdom of Great Britain. This created a single parliament in London and ended Scottish independence. Anne became the first monarch of Great Britain.

Anne died of illness at Kensington Palace at age 49. She was the last Stuart monarch. Her death triggered the succession of the Hanoverian line under George I, as specified by the Act of Settlement 1701, which excluded Catholic claimants.

Fateh Singh Gaekwad became the Maharaja of Baroda as an infant after the death of his father. His reign was controlled by a regency council, with the British East India Company exerting influence.

Due to his infancy, Fateh Singh Gaekwad's rule was administered by a regency led by his mother and ministers. The regency managed state affairs and maintained relations with the Maratha Peshwa and the British.

Fateh Singh Gaekwad died at the age of 11, ending his short reign. His death led to a succession crisis in Baroda, with the British eventually installing a new ruler.
