The First Rohilla War

The First Rohilla War was a conflict fought between the Rohillas, who were Afghans settled in Rohilkhand (a region in modern-day Uttar Pradesh), and an alliance of the Nawab of Awadh, Shuja-ud-Daula, and the British East India Company. ⚔️

The Nawab of Awadh, wanting to annex the territory of Rohilkhand, sought military assistance from the British. The British Governor-General, Warren Hastings, agreed to lend Company troops in exchange for a large payment. The combined forces successfully defeated the Rohillas, and Rohilkhand was annexed to the state of Awadh. The British involvement in the conflict was a subject of significant controversy and debate back in Britain.
