Gurkhas (English Gurkha or Gurkhas) is in fact the name of the people who now live in Nepal, which, moreover, this area was or conquered by this in the eighteenth century. From the very beginning of their presence in history, the Gurkhas are known as incredibly brave and brave warriors, and later soldiers. At the beginning of the 19th century (in the years 1814-1816) the Gurkhs fought a fierce war with the British East India Company, in which they lost, but they made such a great impression on the British that they decided to recruit soldiers from them and form Gurkhs for pay British. They distinguished themselves many times during the wars waged in the first half of the 19th century, especially during the Sipaj uprising (1857-1859). It is not surprising that after this uprising they became an integral part of the Indo-British army. Until the outbreak of World War I, the Gurkhas served in many regions of the British Empire, and suppressed the Boxer Rebellion in China in 1900. During the Great War, the British served a total of about 100,000. Gurkha. In the next world war (1939-1945), Gurkha units took part in battles with the Japanese in Singapore and Burma, but also served during the campaigns in North Africa (1941-1943) and Italy (1943-1945). More than once, their units showed a very high combat value. After India and Nepal broke through to independence, 4 regiments of Gurkha remained in the British Army. They took part, inter alia, in the course of the Falklands War in 1982. Gurkha units still remain in the line of British armed forces.
