Anglo-Indian Wars

The Anglo-Indian Wars were a series of conflicts between the British Empire and various Indian powers from the 17th to the 19th centuries. These wars resulted from Britain's desire to expand its control over Indian territories, often clashing with local rulers like the Marathas, Mysore, and the Mughal Empire. The conflicts culminated in British dominance over India, leading to the establishment of direct colonial rule after the Indian Rebellion of 1857. These wars significantly shaped the political landscape, paving the way for British economic and military influence in the Indian subcontinent.
