Answer 2

Answer:

The Third Battle of Panipat took place on 14 January 1761, at Panipat

Explanation:

• In the 18th century, the Maratha authority was on the increase, and they controlled a large area ranging from the Indus in the north to the southern sections of the subcontinent. The Mughal Emperor was simply a nominal ruler, hence Delhi was also under their power.
• In 1747, Ahmed Shah Durrani founded the Durrani Empire in Afghanistan. He also had Punjab and Sindh under his rule, including Lahore.
• The battle between the invading Afghan army and the Maratha forces took place in Panipat (Haryana), some 97 kilometres from Delhi. The Afghans were headed by their king, Ahmed Shah Durrani, with assistance from the Doab's Rohilla Afghans and Awadh's Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula.
• On the other hand, the Marathas failed to get the support of the Sikhs or the Jats or the Rajputs.
• The Marathas were heavily outnumbered and were defeated by Durrani’s forces. The battle lasted several days and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
