{{HistoryofNepal}}
The '''Anglo-Nepalese War''' (1 November 1814 – 4 March 1816), also known as the '''Gorkha War''', was fought between the [[Gorkhali army]] of the [[Kingdom of Nepal]] (present-day [[Nepal]]) and the British forces of the [[East India Company]] (EIC, present-day India). Both sides had ambitious expansion plans for the mountainous north of the Indian subcontinent. The war ended with the signing of the [[Sugauli Treaty|Treaty of Sugauli]] in 1816 [[Anno Domini|AD]], which ceded some Nepalese controlled territory to the EIC.
The British war effort was led by the East India Company and supported by a coalition of native states; the [[Garhwal Kingdom]], the [[Patiala State]] and the [[Kingdom of Sikkim]] against the Kingdom of Gorkha. The Kingdom of Gorkha's war effort was led mostly by the Thapa Kaji.{{refn|group=note|Bhimsen's nephew [[Ujir Singh Thapa]]{{sfn|Princep|1825|p=115}} commanded over the Butwal-Jitgadhi Axis while his brothers [[Ranbir Singh Thapa]] and [[Bakhtawar Singh Thapa]] commanded over the Makwanpur-Hariharpur Axis and Bijayapur-Sindhuligadhi Axis respectively.<ref>{{cite web |title=History of the Nepalese Army |publisher=Nepal Army |url=http://www.nepalarmy.mil.np:80/history.php?page=two |website=nepalarmy.mil.np |access-date=16 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171228014557/http://www.nepalarmy.mil.np/history.php?page=two |archive-date=28 December 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Bada Kaji [[Amar Singh Thapa]] who was considered a member of the larger Thapa caucus,{{sfn|Pradhan|2012|p=26}} led the battle as overall commander against the columns of Major-General [[Rollo Gillespie]] and Colonel [[David Ochterlony]]; his son [[Ranjore Thapa]] commanded the Nahan and Jaithak forts;{{sfn|Anon|1816|p=427}} and Ranjor's nephew [[Balbhadra Kunwar]]{{sfn|Acharya|1971b|p=3}} commanded the [[Dehradun|Doon region]] at [[Battle of Nalapani|Nalapani]].{{sfn|Princep|1825|p=93}}}}
