Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The Third Anglo-Maratha War resulted in the defeat of the Maratha power.
In the 18th century, the Maratha power was divided into smaller states after their defeat in the Third battle of Panipat. The states were ruled by different dynasties, such as Holkar, Scindia, Gaekwad, and Bhonsle. They were arranged into a confederacy under Peshwa's authority, who ruled from Pune. The Marathas didn't accept British supremacy and threatened the company's expansion in Deccan. Therefore, the British directly fought with the Marathas to attain the territory. A series of wars occurred between the two. Finally, in the third Anglo-Maratha war, the British attained victory and the Maratha power was subdued.
