The annexation of Punjab by the British in 1849 resulted from a series of military conflicts and political maneuvers. The First Anglo-Sikh War (1845-1846) ended with the Treaty of Amritsar, which established British control over the Sikh state but allowed for some autonomy. Following internal strife and the weakening of Sikh leadership, the British engaged in the Second Anglo-Sikh War (1848-1849), which culminated in a decisive victory for the British. Subsequently, Punjab was formally annexed and integrated into British India.
