George Eden, 1st Earl of Auckland (1784 – 1849) was an English politician and colonial administrator, serving as Governor-General of India from 1836 to 1842.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Throughout his life, Auckland served as First Lord of the Admiralty three times. After being appointed Governor-General of India in 1836, he became vital in the expansion of commercial industry in the region.[1]

With political complications arising in Afghanistan, Auckland pushed for an invasion and provided cannons for Maharaja Ranjit Singh. The resulting conflict became known as the First Anglo-Afghan War, or "Auckland's Folly". After the war ended in disaster for the British in 1842, Auckland was replaced and sent back to England.[1]
