Mughal–Maratha Wars
1680 CE – 1707 CE · 27 years
Mughal emperor Aurangzeb spent the last 25 years of his reign in an exhausting campaign to subjugate the Maratha Confederacy in the Deccan. Though he captured forts and executed Maratha leaders, the guerrilla resistance ultimately drained Mughal resources and hastened the empire's decline.
