The Sikh Wars are two wars in India between
the Sikhs and the British: The First Sikh War
1845-46 followed an invasion of British India
by Punjabi Sikhs. The Sikhs were defeated and
part of their territory annexed. The Second
Sikh War 1848-49 arose from a Sikh revolt in
Multan. They were defeated, and the British
annexed the Punjab.
