Second Anglo-Maratha War

The Second Anglo-Maratha War (1803-1805) was a conflict between the British East India Company and the Maratha Empire in India. The war arose from territorial disputes and the British desire to strengthen their influence in India. It featured several battles, with notable victories for the British, including the Battle of Assaye. The conflict ended with the Treaty of Rajputana in 1805, which expanded British control over key regions, reducing Maratha power. This war marked a significant expansion of British dominance in India, leading to further consolidation of their rule in the following decades.
