From 1780 to 1788, the kingdom was occupied by neighbouring Mysore but the Rajah of Coorg was restored by the British and became a protectorate of the British East India Company on 26 October 1790. In 1834, the then Raja of Coorg rebelled against British authority, sparking the Coorg War. The brief conflict led to the British to annex the kingdom in the same year, who transformed the region into a province of British India.

Having moved south to the town of Haleri in northern Coorg in the d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
