Treaty Of Bassein (1802)
The Treaty of Bassein (or Treaty of Vasai) was a pact signed on 31 December 1802 between the British East India Company and Baji Rao II, the Maratha Peshwa of Poona in India after the Battle of Poona. The treaty was a decisive step in the dissolution of the Maratha Empire, which led to the East India Company's annexation of the empire's territories in western India in 1818. On 13 May 1803, Baji Rao II was restored as Peshwa under the protection of the East India Company and the leading Maratha state had thus become a client of the British. The treaty led to expansion of the Company rule over the Indian subcontinent. However, the treaty was not acceptable to all Marathas chieftains, and resulted in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. Terms The terms of the treaty entailed the following: #A British force of around 6,000 troops be permanently stationed with the Peshwa. #Any territorial districts yielding 2.6 million rupees were to be paid to the East India Company. #The Peshwa could ...
