Explanation:

As an aggressive emperor, Aurangzeb fought many wars, the most prominent of them being the Mughal–Maratha Wars 1680 to 1707. He conquered the Adil Shahis of Bijapur and Qutbshahis of Golconda, in addition to the annexation of the Ahmednagar Sultanate, Maratha enclave in Bijapur established by Shivaji. Over his long reign he was also successful in expanding his empire in the south as far as Tanjore (now Thanjavur) and Trichinopoly (now Tiruchchirappalli).These wars played a major role in depleting the resources of the Mughal Empire.
