Good attempt.
Introduction is good, you can also mention the ambitions of British behind this policy here only-expand and consolidate British control, prevent the revival and expansion of French influence etc
Content is fine. You have well explained subsidiary alliance and its consequences. Use of diagram is good.
Mentioning reason in conclusion makes the answer look incomplete. Overall consequences can be mentioned as conclusion. Reasons can be integrated with intro as mentioned above.
Keep practicing. 🙂
