Marathas opposed British vigorously in India. Maratha were suppressed after four Anglo-Maratha Wars. On ruins of Mughal Empire Maratha laid down their foundation and British also took advantage of these circumstances. British lost first Anglo-Maratha war badly and this war ended with Treaty of Salbai. Wellesley trapped Peshwa in a cage of Subsidiary Alliance in 1802. Lord Hastings installed British supremacy after the devastation of remnant strength of Marathas in 1818.
