The Battle of Sindh (February 17, 1843) was a battle between British forces under Sir Charles Napier and the amirs of the now Pakistani region of Sindh. The British were upset about the local amirs' stance during the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839–42). After giving giving military control of the region to Napier, who forced a new agreement with the Sindh amirs and attacked the fortress at Imamgarh, a popular revolt broke out.
