9. Historical Background
King Pritivi Narayan Shah

10.  Nepal had Many Small Kingdoms before 1768.
 The Modern State was Formed with the Unification of Nepal
 Prithvi Narayan Shah was born as a prince in Gorkha, Nepal .
 King Prithvi Narayaṇ Shah was ultimately able to unify these
previously small principalities into one nation, Nepal.
 United by The King Prithvi Narayan Shah on December 21,
1768.

11.  King Prithivi Narayan Shah was convinced that the British
forces would eventually approach Nepal.
 He believed that 50 small principalities would easily be
conquered by the British as part of a plan to colonize Nepal
 Unifying Nepal made it more difficult for British forces to
make their move. His unification campaign was very ambitious,
especially as he was the King of a (relatively) small kingdom
surrounded by strong and powerful neighbors.

12.  Prithvi Narayan Shah died in the gigantic Nuwakot palace,
sadly before he could effectively organize the administration of
his new country. He died in January 1775, at the age of 52.
 Still, King Prithivi Narayan Shah was able to successfully
unify Nepal, which later enabled unified Nepali forces to fight
against British colonial forces and prevent foreign colonization
of Nepal.
 Prithvi Narayan Shah with whom we move into the modern
period of Nepal's history, was the ninth generation of the ruling
house of Nepal.
