Option 2 : Assam
The correct answer is Assam.
- Assam region was annexed by the British East India Company through the Treaty of Yandabo (1826).
- The Treaty of Yandabo marked the conclusion of the First Anglo-Burmese War.
- General Sir Archibald Campbell on the British side and the Governor of Legaing Maha Min Hla Kyaw Htin on the Burmese side signed the treaty on February 24, 1826, nearly two years after the war formally broke out on March 5, 1824, without the permission or consent of the Ahom kingdom, Kachari kingdom, or the other territories covered by the treaty.
- The Burmese were forced to accept the British requirements without debate because the British army was stationed at Yandabo village, only 80 kilometres from the capital Ava.
- Following the Treaty, the British gained control of Assam and consequently of the Brahmaputra Valley, and they began to strengthen their dominance.
- Govinda Chandra, the Kachari monarch, was killed in 1830, and the British seized the Kachari kingdom in 1832.
- Later, the British incorporated parts of the Goalpara and Sylhet districts of Bengal into Assam, which they (the British) obtained from Moghul Emperor Shah Alam in 1765.
