Answer 2

Answer:

The three conflicts or wars fought between the British East India Company and the Maratha Empire in India are considered the great Maratha Wars or the Anglo-Maratha Wars.

Explanation:

The First Anglo-Maratha War

The first Anglo-Maratha war between the Marathas and the English started in the year 1775. There was a struggling moment for peshwaship between the supporters of the infant Peshwa Madhav Rao II  led by his able general statesman Nana Fadnavis and the supporters of Raghunath Rao.

The Second Maratha War

After the death of Nana fadnavis Holkar and Sindhia wanted to control Peshwa, which made  Peshwa Baji Rao come under British protection. This resulted in the Second Maratha War. The Bhonsle and the Sindhia were defeated in the battles of Assaye and Arjungaon in 1803. General Lake in the battle of Laswari defeated  Sindhia and captured and occupied Agra and Delhi.

The Third Maratha War

The Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao II was trying to organize a united front of the Maratha chiefs against the British. The Sindhia was forced to sign a new treaty. Other Maratha chiefs also tried to unite but failed. They were defeated one by one by the British. The Third Maratha War marked the last attempt of the Marathas to regain their position but the attempt failed.
