Description
The First Anglo-Sikh War 1845-46 The Betrayal of the Khalsa This fully illustrated study of the First Anglo-Sikh War tells the story of a dramatic and hard-fought conflict during Britain's rule of India. The war was sparked by escalating tensions between the Sikh Empire and the British East India Company in the Punjab region of India in the mid-nineteenth century. Political machinations played a significant role in the conflict, with Sikh rulers fearing the growing power of their own army, while several prominent Sikh generals collaborated with the East India Company. The British faced a disciplined opponent, trained along European lines, which fielded armies numbering in the tens of thousands. The war featured a number of closely contested battles, with both sides taking heavy losses. With its rich historical context and detailed illustrations, this book provides a comprehensive account of the First Anglo-Sikh War, a pivotal moment in the history of the region.
