Maratha's group of people challenged Mughal authority for the longest time in Aurangzeb's reign. Between the Marathas and the Mughal Empire, battles known as the Mughal-Maratha Wars took place from 1680 to 1707. The Maratha enclave of Bijapur, founded by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, was invaded by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1680, sparking the beginning of the Deccan Wars. The Marathas won the war in 1707 despite the Mughal army's enormous numerical advantage, the empire's wealth, and the assistance of allies like the Siddhis, Portuguese, Golkonda, and Bijapur sultanates.
