The Treaty of Yandabo was concluded as part of which one of the following wars ?
Explanation
The Treaty of Yandabo was signed on February 24, 1826, marking the end of the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824–1826). It was a peace treaty between the British East India Company and the Kingdom of Ava (Burma).
- Background: The war was triggered by Burmese expansionist policies in the Northeast frontier of India, specifically in Assam, Manipur, and Arakan, which threatened British interests.
- Key Provisions: Under the treaty, the Burmese government ceded the territories of Assam, Manipur, Arakan, and Tenasserim to the British. They also agreed to pay a war indemnity of one million pounds sterling and recognized the independence of Manipur.
- Impact: The treaty facilitated the British annexation of Northeast India and established a British Resident at the Burmese capital, Ava, significantly extending British influence in Southeast Asia.
