Mughal-Maratha wars: A history of conflict and conquest
=== The Mughal Empire and the Martha empire were two of the most powerful empires in south Asia during The 16th to 18th centuries. The Mughals, who were of Mongol-Turkic origin, ruled over a vast territory in the Indian subcontinent, while the Maratha, who were of Marathi-speaking origin, controlled most of western and central India === '''Sambhaji, the eldest son of the Maratha warrior king, Shivaji, was executed in 1689 at the age of 31. His death was a significant event in Indian history, marking the end of the golden era of the Maratha Empire. Sambhaji was born in 1657 to Shivaji and his first wife, Saibai. He was trained in the art of warfare from a young age and was known for his bravery and military skills. After Shivaji's death in 1680, Sambhaji ascended to the throne of the Maratha Empire.'''
