In which year did the British gain control of Delhi after defeating the Marathas?
1803
The correct answer is 1803.
Second Anglo-Maratha War (1803-1805): Resulted in significant territorial gains for the British and weakened the major Maratha houses. The capture of Delhi and Agra occurred during this war. Third Anglo-Maratha War (1817-1818): Led to the complete defeat of the Marathas and established British paramountcy over most of India. The capture of Delhi in 1803 was a direct consequence of the British success in the Second Anglo-Maratha War, specifically after the Battle of Delhi.
