Read the given paragraph and answer the following questions.

The Maratha Empire rose to prominence under Chhatrapati Shivaji in the 17th century, establishing Raigad as its capital. Shivaji reformed administrative structures, introducing the Ashta Pradhan council and revamping revenue collection to eliminate hereditary positions. Following his death, his son Sambhaji continued Maratha expansion, prompting Mughal Emperor Aurangazeb to take action. The Maratha Empire saw further conflicts with the British, notably the Second Anglo-Maratha War, which erupted over the Treaty of Bassein. The Treaty of Surji-Arjungaon in 1803 marked a significant moment during this war. The empire's prominence waned with the defeat of the last Peshwa, Baji Rao II, in 1818, ultimately leading to the end of the Maratha Empire.
