Maratha rule officially ended in 1818 with the defeat of Peshwa Bajirao II at the hands of the English East India Company.

The empire had its head in the Chhatrapati as de jure, but the de facto governance was in the hands of the Peshwas after Chhatrapati Shahu I's reign.

The army of Nana Fadnavis, for example, included 5,000 Arabs.
