Where
Kalat
Part of
British Empire takes over Balochistan

The Khan of Kalat signed the Treaty of Kalat with British Agent Robert Sandeman; supplied passages date the treaty to 1875 and 1876, a conflict preserved here.

Internal weakness of the state forced the Khan of Kalat to sign the Treaty of Kalat with the British Agent Robert Sandeman in the late 19th century. Supplied passages disagree on the year: one records the treaty's signature in 1875 by the Khan of Kalat and local sardars, another dates it to 1876. Under the treaty Kalat became a self-governing state in a subsidiary alliance with British India, and the supervision of Kalat became a task of the Baluchistan Agency.
