Changes

Burmese expansionist policy on the north east of British India led to refugees from the frontier states of [[Manipur]] and [[Cachar]] fleeing to British territory and asking for help. After further Burmese incursions, an expeditionary force under Commodore Charles Grant and Maj-Gen Sir Archibald Campbell anchored off [[Rangoon]] which was captured. It took two years and 20,000 casualties before the British defeated the Burmese. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Yandabo Treaty of Yanabo ] ceded [[Assam]], [[Arakan]] and [[Tenasserim]] to the British who also extracted 10 million rupeed indemnity.
