Last Updated:

This bilingual Important Battles question tests the exact historical or historical association in “Important Battles question: The Battle of Sobraon (1846) was the decisive battle of which war?”. The validated answer is First Anglo-Sikh War. Its explanation retains the source-backed evidence, distinguishes the three distractors, highlights decisive qualifiers in the stem and gives a repeatable event–outcome verification method.

ASecond Anglo-Sikh War
BFirst Anglo-Afghan War
CThird Anglo-Maratha War
DFirst Anglo-Sikh War
Correct Answer: First Anglo-Sikh WarYour Answer: D

Explanation

The source-backed, question-specific record explains: The Battle of Sobraon fought on February 10 1846 was the decisive battle of the First Anglo-Sikh War. The British forces under Sir Hugh Gough defeated the Sikh Khalsa Army on the banks of the Sutlej River. This led to the Treaty of Lahore (1846). This evidence establishes the historical relationship required in this Important Battles item. A correct solution must preserve the exact battle, date, participants, commander, location, outcome or significance requested by the stem. Similar periods, genres or national traditions do not make two battle facts interchangeable. Option A gives First Anglo-Sikh War and satisfies every condition stated in the question. The remaining choices—Second Anglo-Sikh War, First Anglo-Afghan War and Third Anglo-Maratha War—do not satisfy the complete requirement. The reliable checking method is to identify the named battle first, recall or verify its verified participant or outcome, and then read qualifiers such as “both works,” “original language,” “first published,” “correctly matched” or “incorrectly matched.” These qualifiers determine what counts as the answer. Replaying that method for this Important Battles question confirms First Anglo-Sikh War without relying on option position.

Important Notes

  • This Important Battles item verifies First Anglo-Sikh War as option A for the stated requirement.
  • Read every qualifier in the Important Battles stem before choosing First Anglo-Sikh War as the response.
  • Choices Second Anglo-Sikh War, First Anglo-Afghan War, Third Anglo-Maratha War fail the complete Important Battles requirement in this item.
