    The Second Anglo-Maratha War lasted from 1803 to 1805. The war began when the deposed Peshwa Baji Rao II entered Poona with British forces in May 1803. The British attacked from the north under General Lake and from the south under Arthur Wellesley. Multiple treaties were signed between the Maratha rulers and the Peshwa and British. As a result of these treaties, the divided Marathas paid the price to the united British. The war resulted in the British gaining control of territories formerly ruled by the Marathas. With the conclusion of the Second Anglo-Maratha War, the Marathas lost their independence, bringing much of India under British colonial rule
