Explanation:

The Anglo Maratha Wars were three round of wars which were fought in between Marathas and the British East India Company. First Anglo-Maratha War (1775-82) The Struggle for power between Sawai Madhav Rao and Raghunath Rao was the main cause for the First Anglo-Maratha War. Madhav Rao got the support of Nanaphadnavis. Raghunath Rao, sought for British help to be installed as Peshwa against Madhav Rao. The British (Bombay Presidency) entered into an agreement with Raghunath Rao at Surat in 1775, which is known as the treaty of Surat. According to the conditions of this treaty, in order to get British help to restore him to Poona, Raghunath Rao ceded the territories of Salsette and Bassein to the British. But the treaty was annulled by the supreme council at Calcutta which questioned the wisdom of Bombay government. Nana Fadnavis made a treaty with British on March, 1776, which is known as the treaty of Purandhar. As per this treaty, Bassein and Salsette were given to British. Raghunath Rao was pensioned off and sent to Gujarat. At Wadgaon in 1779, the combined Maratha forces fought with the forces of the British and Raghunath Rao. In the battle of Wadgaon, the Marathas defeated British, therefore, Treaty of Wadgaon was signed by British as dictated by Marathas. As per this treaty, the British renounced all the territories acquired by the British East India Company in Western India since 1773. Later Warren Hastings annulled Treaty of Wadgaon. Mahadji Sindia was compelled to sign the treaty of Salbai in May 17, 1782. Status quo was maintained as per the treaty. British acknowledged Madhavrao as the Peshwa of the Maratha Empire. This treaty helped the British to recover their territories from Hyder Ali by putting pressure on Mysore with the help of Marathas. Second Anglo-Maratha War (1803-05) The desire of Wellesley to impose subsidiary Alliance on Marathas led to the Second Anglo- Maratha War. Sindia, Holkar and Bhonsle fought against British in the second Anglo-Maratha War. Treaty of Bassein (1802) was signed after the Battle of Poona. According to this pact around 6000 troops of the Company's native infantry was to be permanently stationed with the Peshwa. And the Peshwa could not enter into any treaty without the permission of the British, agreed to seek Company's arbitration in all differences between him and Nizam. Peshwa also surrendered Surat. This treaty was of great political advantage to the British and was an important milestone in establishing their supremacy across the Indian subcontinent The armies of Sindia and Bhonsle were defeated by Wellesley at Assaye in September 1803 and at Argaon in November 1803 respectively. On December 17, 1803 the treaty of Deogaon was concluded between Raghuji Bhonsle and the company. According to the terms of this treaty Bhonsle accepted the subsidiary alliance with British and further agreed to cede the East India Company the province of Cuttack, Balasore and territory west of the river Warda. Later Sindia army was defeated by the British at Aligarh and finally at Laswar. On December 30, 1803, Sindia concluded the treaty of Surji Arjunagaon with British and Sindia consented to enter into subsidiary alliance with British. Holkar remained at war with the British East India Company. The second Anglo-Maratha ended with the treaty of Rajpurghat. Third Anglo-Maratha war (1817-18) By this time Lord Hastings was the Governor General (appointed in 1813) and he was determined to proclaim British Paramountcy in India. The peshwa s forces, rose against the British (November 1817), this was further followed by the forces of the Bhonsle and Holkar, but the Sindhia remained neutral. At the end of the third Anglo-Maratha War Peshwa Bajirao II, was dethroned and pensioned He was sent to Bithur, a place near Kanpur. All his territory was annexed by the British.
