Sirsoli Adgaon, Akola District, Maharashtra, India
What happened
During the Second Anglo-Maratha War, the Maratha armies moved south after losing elsewhere. Wellesley's army met them at Adgaon and defeated them.
Why it matters
Berar, which the Marathas held, passed to the Nizam of Hyderabad. It ended Bhonsle rule in that region.
What came next
A few weeks later Raghuji II signed the Treaty of Deogaon with the British, giving up Cuttack.

Arthur Wellesley later became the Duke of Wellington.
