However, the Gorkhas slowly began to conquer this area by constructing forts around Shimla under the leadership of Amar Singh Thapa.

In the early 18th century, Theog was seized by the British which drove the Anglo-Gorkhas war. The Gorkhas could not conquer the mighty British forces and the entire area was taken over by British. However, Theog made a lot of progress during the British rule.
