Title: First Anglo-Burmese War,1824-1826
Caption: The conflagration of Dalla on the Rangoon River. Drawn by J. Moore. Engraved by G. Hunt. 1826. The First Anglo-Burmese War, also known as the First Burma War (5 March 1824 – 24 February 1826), was the first of three wars fought between the British and Burmese empires in the 19th century. The war, which began primarily over the control of Northeastern India, ended in a decisive British victory, giving the British total control of Assam, Manipur, Cachar and Jaintia as well as Arakan Province and Tenasserim. The Burmese were also forced to pay an indemnity of one million pounds sterling, and sign a commercial treaty. This war was the longest and most expensive war in British Indian history. For the Burmese Empire, it was the beginning of the end of their independence.
