Question

what were the causes of Maratha failure?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Following were the causes of the Maratha failure in the Third-Anglo Maratha War:

• The leaders of the Maratha confederate did not have unity of purpose or action.
• With the departure of able leaders and statesmen such as Nana Phadnavis and Baji Rao I, the Maratha state lacked direction.
• The Maratha methods of warfare were woefully archaic and no match for the modern tactics of the Company army.
• The Marathas did not have an efficient administrative system.

• The Maratha state extracted the revenues of chauth and sardeshmukhi forcefully. This led to a lot of heartburn and animosity.
• As a result, when the Company mounted an attack on the Marathas, the latter did not get any help.
