Second Anglo-Afghan Treaty and Sepoy Mutiny in India (1857) In response to the Persian siege of Herat, and another Bukharan expedition led into the Chahar Wilayat, the Governor General of British India gave Dost Mohammad Khan 4,000 muskets, with ammunition and gunpowder, and 500,000 rupees. This was an attempt by the British to coerce Dost Mohammad in interfering against the Persian siege of Herat and directly joining the war against them, however this aid arrived too late to tempt Dost Mohammad Khan.

This war would also unite Afghan tribes under his rule further and earn him the title of Ghazi. The offer to Dost Mohammad
