Question

who was ahmed shah durrani? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ahmed Shah Durrani was another name for Ahmed Shah Abdali. He founded the Durrani Empire and is often regarded as the creator of modern-day Afghanistan.

Explanation:

• Ahmad Shah Durrani founded the Durrani Empire in Afghanistan in 1747. He annexed Lahore in 1747. In the years that followed, he seized control of Punjab and Sindh as well. Timur Shah, Durrani's son, was the governor of Lahore.
• The Maratha Peshwa Bajirao was successful in capturing Lahore and driving Timur Shah out.
• The Maratha Empire spanned India from the Indus River in the north to the Arabian Sea in the south during this period.
• The Mughals only had a nominal control over Delhi. Many people were worried by the Marathas' quick development, and they petitioned Durrani to halt the Marathas' expansion.
• Ahmad Shah Durrani was able to enlist the help of the Gangetic Doab's Afghan Rohillas.
• Both the Afghans and the Marathas sought the allegiance of Shuja-ud-daulah, the Nawab of Awadh, but he opted to side with the Afghans.
