Maratha Empire
Maratha Empire appears on the map from 1677 to 1818. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1772, it covered about 1.28 million km².
One of the realms of Maratha Empire (Maratha Confederacy). The Marathas, Marathi-speaking warriors of the western Deccan hills, rose under Shivaji, who used hill forts and swift guerrilla raids to carve a kingdom out of the Bijapur sultanate and the Mughal Empire, crowning himself Chhatrapati in 1674. They survived Aurangzeb's long war against them, and from 1713 real power passed to hereditary chief ministers, the Peshwas, ruling from Pune.
