The Second Anglo-Maratha War (1803-1805) saw the British East India Company exploiting internal Maratha conflicts, resulting in the Treaty of Bassein (1802) and eventual British dominance over large parts of India.
The Third Anglo-Maratha War (1817-1818) resulted in the defeat of the Peshwas and the eventual merger of their territoriesinto the Bombay Presidency. The British East India Company's victory led to the end of the Maratha Empire.
