Answer 2

The four Anglo-Maratha wans as well as their consequences in detail are discussed below:

• First Anglo-Maratha War (1775–1782): The first of three Anglo-Maratha Wars, fought in India between the Maratha Empire and the British East India Company, was the First Anglo-Maratha War (1775–1782). The Treaty of Salbai marked the end of the war, which had started with the Treaty of Surat. The British were defeated in the war between the Surat and Pune Kingdoms, and both sides' pre-war positions were restored.
• Second Anglo-Maratha War (1803–1805): The second war between the Maratha Empire in India and the British East India Company took place between 1803 and 1805. On August 8, 1803, Wellesley issued the order to break camp and attack the closest Maratha fort after the logistical assembly of his army (24,000 soldiers in total) was complete. He captured Ahmednagar's walled Pettah (a town next to the fort) that day using an escalade.
• Third Anglo-Maratha War (1817–1819): The English East India Company and the Maratha Empire in India engaged in their final and most important battle during the Third Anglo-Maratha War (1817–1819). The Company now controls the majority of India following the war. British East India Company troops invaded Maratha territory to start it off, and despite being outnumbered, the Maratha army was destroyed.
• Gwalior Campaign (1843): In December 1843, the British and Maratha forces engaged in combat in Gwalior, India. The young Maharaja was overthrown by Marathas in Gwalior who saw the British invasion of Afghanistan as a missed opportunity to reclaim their independence. Lord Ellenborough created the Army of Exercise close to Agra because he thought the Marathas in Gwalior might try to declare their independence. When negotiations fell through, the British launched a two-pronged assault. On December 29, 1843, two battles were fought between British forces led by Gen. Sir Hugh Gough and Maratha forces led by Maharaja Scindia.
