The three Anglo-Maratha Wars (1775-1819) were fought between the Maratha Confederacy of India (aka the Mahrattas, 1674-1818) and the British East India Company (EIC). The Maratha Hindu princes were rarely unified, and so the EIC steadily reduced their power through a blend of diplomacy and warfare, which led to ultimate victory and the dissolving of the confederacy. * * * _This is a companion discussion topic for the original definition at [https://www.worldhistory.org/Anglo-Maratha\_Wars/](https://www.worldhistory.org/Anglo-Maratha_Wars/)._ * * * **Join the Conversation** - Why did the Marathas struggle to stay united against the British? - Do you think the East India Company won more by diplomacy or by war? - What does this article suggest about the importance of alliances in war? Is there anything you'd like to ask me about this definition? Ask away — and if you spot something that should be covered, that's useful to know too. ---
