Question

write a brief report on how the British overcome the power of the marathas in short

Answer 1

Three Anglo-Maratha wars were fought between 1775-1818.The British supported the ageing Raghunath Rao for the post of peshwa, while the rest of the Marathas, under the leadership of Nana Phadnavis were in favour of the young Madhav Rao II. This resulted in the first Anglo- Maratha War. After fighting for almost four years, the British were forced to accept Madhav Rao II as the peshwa. After the death of Nana Phadnavis in 1800, the Maratha chiefs began fighting openly among themselves. The British took advantage and comprehensively defeated the Marathas in the Third Anglo-Maratha War (1817-1818). The post of the peshwa was abolished and large parts of the Maratha kingdom were annexed by the British. This marked the virtual end of Maratha rule in India.
