Write a detailed report on how the Britis overcame the power of the Marathas in short
Answers
Answer:
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.
