Aliwal was fought shortly before Sobraon and the Treaty of Lahore. In which campaign did this battle occur?

This victory opened the way for the decisive Battle of Sobraon. The wording of “Aliwal was fought shortly before Sobraon and the Treaty of Lahore. This event belongs to the expansion of Company power, when warfare, alliances and revenue rights converted a trading corporation into a territorial authority; Treaties with similar names or battles from the same war should be distinguished by date, belligerents and political consequence, a distinction applied here to First Anglo-Sikh War. By contrast, Second Anglo-Sikh War, Anglo-Maratha War and Anglo-Mysore War refer to alternatives whose dates, theatres or functions differ from the relationship being tested. On that evidence, the supported choice is First Anglo-Sikh War. The revised item avoids claiming more than the source establishes and distinguishes participation, leadership, foundation, ratification and later reorganisation where those roles differ. The Battle of Aliwal fought on 28 January 1846 was an important British victory during the First Anglo-Sikh War. British forces under General Harry Smith defeated the Sikh forces at Aliwal near the Sutlej River.
