Complete Answer:
The Kingdom of Gorkha and the East India Company entered into the first Anglo-Gurkha. The treaty of Sagauli finished the Anglo-Nepalese (Gurkha) War (1814–16). It ended on 2 December 1815 and was approved by 4 March 1816 and set up the limit line of Nepal.

By the treaty, Nepal revoked all cases to the place of Tarai, or swamp nation, and surrendered its areas west of the Kali River and reaching out to the Sutlej River. Nepal stayed autonomous, yet it got a British occupant with the status of a minister to a free nation.
