The Gurkha war took place during the tenure of _____.
The correct option is C Marquess of Hastings
The Gurkha War was fought between Nepal
and the British East India Company between 1814 and 1816. It is sometimes
called the Gorkha War or the Anglo-Nepalese War. The Gurkha War
marked the rise of the Gurkha kingdom and the consolidation of the British East
India Company's influence in Nepal. The open door for growing power in the
region came upon the heels of conflict between three small kingdoms, Kathmandu,
Patan, and Bhadgaon. Completely focused on warfare among themselves, they
became easy prey for the Gurkha empire in 1767. The British East India Company
handled the events leading up to the Gurkha War (1814-1816) rather clumsily.
Seizing the opportunity to take control of Nepal, the English acted hastily and
failed.
