The war, which began primarily over the control of Northeastern India, ended in a decisive British victory, giving the British total control of Assam, Manipur, Cachar and Jaintia as well as Arakan Province and Tenasserim . The Burmese were also forced to pay an indemnity of one million pounds sterling, and sign a commercial treaty . </P> <P> Fifteen thousand European and Indian soldiers died, together with an unknown number of Burmese military and civilian casualties . The high cost of the campaign to the British, 5--13 million pounds sterling (£ 386 million - £ 1 billion as of 2016), contributed to a severe economic crisis in British India which cost the East India Company its remaining privileges . </P>
