Economic Causes for the Angol-Nepal War

• Nepal rejected the trade and diplomatic relations proposed by British East India Company, which caused the failure of several missions of Nepal.
• The British East India Company wanted to use the hard wood of the dense forests of the Terai region of Nepal to extend railway lines in India, and to build ships.
• The British East India Company wanted to establish trade relations with Nepal, so as to establish trade routes to Tibet through Nepal. However, the Nepalese government of that time did not encourage foreign traders inside Nepal.
• British East India Company wanted to utilize the medicinal herbs, fertile lands of the Terai, and other natural resources.
