	Articles - List of Anglo-Maratha Wars
		The Anglo-Maratha Wars were a series of 18th century wars fought in India between the Maratha Empire and the British East India Company.
		In fighting this series of Anglo-Maratha wars the East India Company in effect accelerated the disintegration of the Maratha Confederacy that was the indigenous heir to Indiaâ€™s military fortunes.
		Those unfamiliar with South Asian history often find it difficult to trace the Anglo-Maratha Wars as they overlap with the Third and Fourth Anglo-Mysore Wars in which the Marathas were British allies and neutrals respectively.

	The Anglo-Maratha Campaigns and the Contest for India
		There were three Anglo-Bengal Wars, four Anglo-Mysore Wars, at least three Anglo-Maratha Wars, as well as Anglo-Sikh and Anglo-Afghan Wars, which suggested the transference of power in South Asia was not analogous to passing the baton of governance in a relay race.
		In fighting this series of Anglo-Maratha wars the EIC in effect accelerated the disintegration of the Maratha Confederacy that was the indigenous heir to India’s military fortunes.
		But during the eighteenth century the South Asian extension of European wars was facilitated by overall improvements in France’s as well as Britain’s ability to organize and equip indigenous defence forces that were interchangeable with European troops in the order of battle.
