Question

5. How did the annexation policies of the British affect the Marathas? What were the results?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Though initial hostilities between the sides started in 1770s, the actual warfare began on February 1785 and ended in 1787. It is widely believed that the war broke out as a result of the desire of the ever-expanding Marathas to recover lost territories from the state of Mysore.

The three wars between the British East India Company and the Maratha Empire are referred to as the great Maratha Wars or the Anglo-Maratha Wars. The British wanted control of the southern territories dominated by Maratha chieftains. The three wars covered a span of almost four decades.
