Question

explain how british took control of marathas?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Maratha Wars, (1775–82, 1803–05, 1817–18), three conflicts between the British and the Maratha confederacy, resulting in the destruction of the confederacy.

The first war (1775–82) began with British support for Raghunath Rao’s bid for the office of peshwa (chief minister) of the confederacy. The British were defeated at Wadgaon (see Wadgaon, Convention of) in January 1779, but they continued to fight the Marathas until the conclusion of the Treaty of Salbai (May 1782); the sole British gain was the island of Salsette adjacent to Bombay (now Mumbai).

The second war (1803–05) was caused by the peshwa Baji Rao II’s defeat by the Holkars (one of the leading Maratha clans) and his acceptance of British protection by the Treaty of Bassein in December 1802. The Sindhia and the Bhonsle families contested the agreement, but they were defeated, respectively, at Laswari and Delhi by Lord Lake and at Assaye and Argaon by Sir Arthur Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington). The Holkar clan then joined in, and the Marathas were left with a free hand in the regions of central India and Rajasthan.

The third war (1817–18) was the result of an invasion of Maratha territory in the course of operations against Pindari robber bands by the British governor-general, Lord Hastings. The peshwa’s forces, followed by those of the Bhonsle and Holkar, rose against the British (November 1817), but the Sindhia remained neutral. Defeat was swift, followed by the pensioning of the peshwa and the annexation of his territories, thus completing the supremacy of the British in India.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• British success culminated in the Maratha Empire's breaking up. The Peshwar surrendered on June 3, 1818, and was captured and located in a small property near Kanpur, in Bithur. Most of its land was conquered and became part of the presidency of Bombay.
• All the forces of Maratha had surrendered. The three wars between the British East India Company and the Maratha Empire are called the great Wars of the Maratha or the Wars of the Anglo-Maratha. The British wanted control of the chieftains of Maratha's southern territories.
• The three wars spanned nearly four decades. Under the British Company, the English were now in charge of almost all part of India today, south of Sutlej.
• The lands of the Peshwar were incorporated into the presidency of Bombay and the areas captured from the Pindaris became British India's main provinces.
