The Tripartite Struggle for control of northern India took place in the ninth century. The struggle was between the Pratihara Empire, the Pala Empire and the Rashtrakuta Empire.
Towards the end of the successor of Nagabhata II, successfully attacked Kanaujand established control there. This was short-lived as he was soon after defeated by the Rastrakuta ruler, Govinda III. However the Rastrakutas also formed a matrimonial relationship with the Gangas and defeated the kingdom of Vengi. By the end of the 9th Century the power of the Rastrakutas started to decline along with the Palas. This was seen as an ideal opportunity by the feudal king Taila II who defeated the Rastrakuta ruler and declared his kingdom there. This came to be known the Later Chalukya dynasty. Their kingdom included the states of Karnataka, Konkan and northern Godavari. By the end of the tripartite struggle, the Pratiharas emerged victorious and established themselves as the rulers of central India.

The struggle between the kingdom of Palas, Pratiharas, and Rashtrakutas to gain the throne of Kannauj is popularly known as the 'Tripartite Struggle.'
Explanation:
- In the 8th century, the Palas ruled the eastern parts of India while the Pratiharas controlled western India (Avanti-Jalore region). The Rashtrakutas ruled the Deccan region of India.
- All the three kings Rashtrakuta king, Pala king, and Pratihara king, clashed against each other for Kannauj. The Pratihara king, Vatsaraja emerged victoriously but was defeated by the Rashtrakuta king Dhruva I.
- Although the Rashtrakuta kings returned to their kingdom in the south, Pala king Dharmapala took advantage of the situation and captured Kanauj. But his control over Kannauj was temporary.
- This led to the beginning of the tripartite struggle that lasted for two centuries and it weakened all three dynasties for a long time. This resulted in the political disintegration of the country and benefited Islamic invaders from the Middle East as well.
