Summary

The British became involved in a power struggle within the Maratha government partly to counter increasing French influence. The Marathas were defeated at a series of battles by Lord Lake and Arthur Wellesley and the Treaties of Deogaon and Anjangaon ceded large areas of territory to the British.
