1 Answer
The Anglo-Nepalese War of 1814 to 1816 was won by the British (East India Company). Nepal ceded about a third of it territory to the British.
Explanation:
India had a complex political and economic situation inside its borders which the East India Company was trying to exploit for the company's benefit. The East India Company was instrument of British policy at the time. The East India Company employed troops from many origins to fight in the many wars of the time.
British technological superiority, particularly in Artillery, made a difference here. The core of British troops well supported by large numbers of native troops also helped to make the British successful. The use of Ghurkas by the British dates from this time.
The British were on the offensive and the Nepalese were on the defensive generally throughout this war.
Nepal remained Independent afterward and this was a suitable result for the British as they wanted a buffer state between India and the Chinese in Tibet.
Established in 1600 for trade the (British) East India Company effectively controlled most of India after the Battle of Plassey in 1757. In 1858 the Company was Nationalized and India became controlled by the the British Government through the Raj after the Indian Mutiny.
