Kandyan Kingdom falling into the hands of the British Empire and deposing of king Sri Vikrama Rajasingha started the history of British Ceylon. The British rule on the island lasted until 1948 when the country gained independence. In 1815 Kandy was occupied in the second Kandyan War, finally ending Sri Lankan independence.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Occupied by the Portuguese in the 16th century and by the Dutch in the 17th century, the island was ceded to the British in 1796, became a crown colony in 1802, and was united under British rule by 1815. As Ceylon, it became independent in 1948; its name was changed to Sri Lanka in 1972.
