Raja Gulab Singh acquired Kashmir by the Treaty of Amritsar.

Following the First Anglo-Sikh War, the Treaty of Lahore (1846) required the Sikh state to cede territory, including Kashmir, to the British East India Company. Shortly after, the Company sold Kashmir to Raja Gulab Singh of Jammu for 75 lakh rupees via the Treaty of Amritsar on March 16, 1846.

The Treaty of Lahore was signed on March 9, 1846, ending the war. The Treaty of Bhyroval (December 1846) further increased British control over the Sikh state. The Treaty of Sugauli (1816) was related to the Anglo-Nepalese War.
