The Second Anglo-Sikh War was a military conflict between the SikhEmpire and the British East India Company that took place in 1848 and 1849.

It resulted in the fall of the SikhEmpire, and the annexation of the Punjab and what subsequently became the North-West Frontier Province, by the East India Company.
