Inheritance of Territorial Dispute
- When
- 24 September 1823
- Where
- Anglo-Burmese border on the Naaf River
Amherst inherited a border dispute from the acting Governor-General John Adam, which resulted in violence in September 1823.
The dispute involved the Anglo-Burmese border on the Naaf River. It was inherited from John Adam, who served as acting Governor-General prior to Amherst's arrival. The conflict spilled over into violence on 24 September 1823, shortly after Amherst assumed office. The violence occurred at the Anglo-Burmese border on the Naaf River, a locality outside Calcutta and not within the allowed place names for this event; the site is therefore recorded as unresolved rather than generalized to India.
