The '''Nizam Maratha Wars''' includes continuous warfare between the [[Marathas]] and the [[Nizam of Hyderabad]] with its [[French]] allies, there were total four '''Nizam Maratha wars''' from 1719–1795 and eventually [[Marathas]] came victorious in every war.

==Background==
After the death of emperor [[Aurangzeb]] and the end of the [[Mughal-Maratha Wars]] the [[Marathas]] came out victorious and the weakened [[Mughal Empire]] started declining, the [[Mughal]] subas (states) declared independence because of the succession crisis in [[Agra]] and the one such independent suba was the [[Hyderabad]] which was the successor state of [[Bijapur]] and [[Golkonda]]. The Mughal Vizier [[Asaf Jah I]] after declaring independence from the [[Mughal Empire]] started building his own realm and repulsed two [[Mughal]] Invasions of [[Hyderabad]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=New Cambridge History of India |url=http://archive.org/details/the-marathas-1600-1818-cambridge-history-of-india-vol.-2-part-4 |title=The Marathas – Cambridge History of India (Vol. 2, Part 4)}}</ref>
Initially [[Marathas]] assisted the [[Nizam of Hyderabad]] against [[Mughals]] but later disputes emerged between [[Maratha Empire]] and [[Nizam of Hyderabad]] due to revenue rights of [[deccan]] this quarrel led to the continuous war in the '''Nizam Maratha Wars'''.<ref>{{Cite book |last=New Cambridge History of India |url=http://archive.org/details/the-marathas-1600-1818-cambridge-history-of-india-vol.-2-part-4 |title=The Marathas – Cambridge History of India (Vol. 2, Part 4)}}</ref>

Every influential [[Maratha]] sardar Of [[Chhatrapati Shahu]] deserted him & Joined [[Nizam]] and the [[Nizam]] even won over [[Sambhaji I of Kolhapur]] by promising him making the sole [[Maratha]] ruler after reducing power of [[Shahu]].

At this juncture [[Shahu]]'s counsellors advised him to compromise with [[Nizam]] & accept his terms which meant to remove Peshwa [[Bajirao]] from his post & withdraw [[Maratha]] tax collectors, [[Shahu]] was ready to accept the terms but till then Peshwa [[Bajirao]] arrived & advised him don't fall for the trap of [[Nizam]] rather get ready for war to fight for your right.
