Second Anglo-Sikh War

The Second Anglo-Sikh War, fought between 1848 and 1849, was a conflict between the British East India Company and the Sikh Empire in northern India. After the first war, the British annexed parts of the Sikh territory, leading to discontent. The Sikhs revolted to regain independence. The war saw major battles, including Boochianwala, where the British employed superior military strategy and technology. Ultimately, the British emerged victorious, annexing the entire Sikh Empire and formalizing control over Punjab, further expanding their influence in India and solidifying their rule. The war marked a significant step in British colonial expansion.
