<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The British East India Company, who initially arrived in India to trade, soon began to colonise. They had gained complete political control over Bengal in the second half of the 18th century and looked to expand their power. The Marathas were a formidable enemy. Three wars were fought between the British and the Marathas, known as the Anglo-Maratha wars.
