SHAH SHUJA (178o?1842)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 770 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SHAH SHUJA (178o?1842) , king of Afghanistan, was the son of Timur Shah, and grandson of Ahmad Shah, founder of the
Durani
  dynasty. After conspiracies that caused the dethronement of two
brothers
 , Taman Shah and Mahmud Shah, he became king in 1803. He was, however, in his turn driven out of Afghanistan in 1809 by Mahmud Shah, and found
refuge
  and a pension in British territory. Distrusting the attitude of the Amir Dost Mahommed towards
Russia
 , Lord Auckland in 1839 attempted to restore Shah Shuja to the throne against the wishes of the Afghan
people
 . This policy led to the disastrous first Afghan War. After the
retreat
  of the British troops from Kabul, Shah Shuja shut himself up in the
Bala
  Hissar. He left this
retreat
  on the 5th of
April
  1842, and was immediately killed by the adherents of Dost Mahommed and his son
Akbar
 
Khan
 .
