32:15Now PlayingHow did Britain conquer the Maratha Empire? In this video (Part 4 of a 5-part series), we go over the first half of the 2nd Anglo-Maratha War, where, in 2 separate campaigns in the Deccan and Hindustan, Britain defeated the great Maratha lords of Shinde (Scindia) and Bhonsle, and in the process gained control of both the Maratha Peshwa in Pune, and the Mughal Emperor in Delhi. This war also saw the future Duke of Wellington (Arthur Wellesley) fight what he considered to be his finest victory: Assaye.
