From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Mahidpur was fought during the Third Anglo-Maratha War between the Marathas and the British at Mahidpur, a town in the Malwa region, on December 21, 1817. This battle led to the final destruction of Maratha power. Baji Rao II, who was trying to consolidate Marathas, finally surrendered in June 1818. British abolished the position of Peshwa and Marathas were limited to the small kingdom of Satara.
