The Ahom rule in Assam ended in 1826 with the signing of the Treaty of Yandabo between the British East India Company and the Burmese Empire.
For nearly six centuries, the Ahom dynasty had ruled Assam. However, internal conflicts, political instability, and repeated invasions weakened the kingdom. In the early 19th century, the Burmese invaded Assam multiple times, causing widespread destruction. Seeking to end Burmese aggression, the British fought the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824–1826).
Under the Treaty of Yandabo, signed on 24 February 1826, the Burmese agreed to withdraw from Assam and ceded control to the British. This marked the formal end of Ahom sovereignty, and Assam became part of British India.
The fall of the Ahom kingdom was a turning point in Assam’s history, shifting the region from a centuries-old monarchy to colonial administration.
