After the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the East India Company was abolished, and its territories in India were put under
the direct control of the Sovereign. The Government of India Act 1858 vested the power to appoint the Governor-
General in the Sovereign. The Governor-General, in turn, had the power to appoint all lieutenant governors in India,
subject to the Sovereign's approval.
Until 1833, the title of the position was "Governor-General of Bengal". The Government of India Act
1833 converted the title into "Governor-General of India."
