Answer 2

Answer:

The following were the reasons for the defeat of Marathas by the British:

Personal avenges: After the end of first Anglo-Maratha war, the Martha Empire was taken care by 5 chiefs namely Peshwa, Gaekwad, Shinde, Holkar and Bhonsle. The rise of one chief was intolerable by the other and created many personal aveneges among Marathas itself.  

Greed for the seat of Peshwa: As Madhav Rao died, Raghunath Rao wanted to become the Peshwa for which he approached the Britishers seeking help.

Lack of strong central authority: As the Peshwa kings were concentrating mainly on the central power, they failed to coordinate as well as cooperate between them.
