Answer in Brief
Solution

- He was unsuccessful in uniting the Maratha Sardars and the internal conflict between the Maratha sardars weakened their power.

- In 1817 CE, the British captured Pune and hoisted their flag ‘Union Jack’ there.
- In 1818 CE, the British defeated Marathas in the battle of Ashti in Solapur district. By this, the Maratha rule came to an end.
