Answer:

The history of Manipur (Kangleipak in ancient times)[1][2] is reflected by archaeological research, mythology and written history.

Manipur became a princely state under British rule in 1891, the last of the independent states to be incorporated into British India. During the Second World War, Manipur was the scene of battles between Japanese and Allied forces. After the war, Maharaja Bodhachandra signed a Treaty of Accession merging the kingdom into India.[3] It was made a union territory in 1956[4] and a full-fledged state in 1972.[5]

Explanation:

Burmese invaded Manipur several times, but the most notable was the one in 1819 during the reign of Maharaja Marjit Singh, under the great Burmese general Mingimala Bandula. The Burmese occupied Manipur from 1819 to 1826. During this time, Manipur was devastated and there was Chaos and anarchy everywhere. This dark period in the history of Manipur was known as "Chahi Taret Khuntakpa" or Seven years Devastation. Raja Marjit fled to Cachar, where Chourajit and Gambhir Singh had also taken shelter. On the 5th March 1824, the first Anglo-Burmese war broke out, Gambhir Singh co-operated with the British troops in expelling the Burmese from Chachar. A force of 500 men, which was subsequently increase to 2000, was placed under Gambhir Singh and army was placed under the command of Captain Grant. This force expelled the Burmese from Manipur and made Ningthee River Eastern boundary of Manipur. At the conclusion of The Yandabo Peace Treaty, after the end of Anglo-Burmese war in February 1826, Gambhir Singh was recognized as the Raja of Manipur.
