Edmund Allenby vs Maharana Pratap

Allenby led the Egyptian Expeditionary Force in the capture of Jerusalem from the Ottoman Empire. He entered the city on foot on 11 December 1917, respecting the holy sites. This was the first Christian control of Jerusalem since the Crusades and a major Allied propaganda victory.

Allenby took command of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force and immediately reorganized it. He launched the Third Battle of Gaza, a combined infantry and cavalry assault that broke the Ottoman defensive line. This victory opened the way for the advance into Palestine and the capture of Jerusalem.

Allenby commanded the Egyptian Expeditionary Force at the Battle of Megiddo. His forces launched a surprise offensive that broke the Ottoman lines in Palestine. The battle resulted in the destruction of three Ottoman armies and led to the capture of Damascus and Aleppo.

Maharana Pratap refused to accept Mughal suzerainty under Emperor Akbar, unlike other Rajput rulers. He rejected diplomatic overtures and military pressure. This defiance made him a symbol of Rajput independence and resistance.

Maharana Pratap led Rajput forces against the Mughal army under Man Singh of Amber at Haldighati. The battle was indecisive, with both sides claiming victory. Pratap retreated to the hills and continued guerrilla resistance against the Mughals.

Maharana Pratap recaptured the Chittorgarh Fort from the Mughals after a prolonged guerrilla campaign. The fort had been lost to Akbar in 1568. Pratap's forces held the fort temporarily, but it was later abandoned due to Mughal pressure.

Maharana Pratap established his new capital at Chavand in the Aravalli hills after losing Chittorgarh. The capital served as a base for his resistance against the Mughals. It remained the capital of Mewar until his death.
