The Company's Last War: EIC vs Sikh Empire

What this episode covers

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Anglo-Sikh Wars of 1845–1849, the final major military conquest by the East India Company before the 1857 rebellion. They discuss the rise of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who built a powerful Sikh Empire with a modernized army trained by European mercenaries like Jean-François Allard and Claude Auguste Court. After Ranjit Singh's death, the weakened Khalsa Army clashed with the Company at the bloody battles of Mudki, Ferozeshah, and Sobraon. Lucas explains how Governor-General Lord Hardinge fought alongside his troops, the role of the Dogra brothers Gulab Singh and Dhian Singh, and the controversial Treaty of Lahore that annexed the Punjab and made the Koh-i-Noor diamond part of the British Crown Jewels. The episode ends with the final battle at Gujrat and the lasting impact on the region. #AngloSikhWars #RanjitSingh #KhalsaArmy #BattleOfSobraon #TreatyOfLahore #KohINoor #LordHardinge #GulabSingh #JeanFrancoisAllard #Ferozeshah #Mudki #Punjab #EastIndiaCompany #SikhEmpire #19thCentury #MilitaryHistory #History #FexingoHistory #BritishEmpire #RobertClive Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
