History of India, 1818 AD, End of the Maratha Empire and British control over most of India

In 1818, the Maratha Empire was defeated by the British forces and lost their independence in India.

The Maratha Empire was one of the largest Indian empires, controlling much of the country's land and resources.

The British East India Company, who had been trading in India since 1600s, took control of much of India's political and economic power.

The British East India Company imposed a series of laws to control and regulate the Indian population.

The British forces took control of India's financial and military system, introducing a new taxation system called 'The Permanent Settlement'.

The British also introduced a new legal system, the 'British Raj', which gave the British absolute power over India.

The Marathas were stripped of their independence and their power was taken away, leaving them with no political or economic power.
