Answer:
The Nullification Crisis was a conflict over customs that broke out between the government of South Carolina and the federal government during the mandate of the American president Andrew Jackson. The main stumbling block was the U.S. federal government’s effort to steadily increase tariff rates. From the first protective customs passed in 1816, the customs were increased twice more, in 1824 and 1828. The South was most affected by these measures. The center of dissatisfaction was South Carolina, whose assembly in December 1828 adopted a law to nullify federal laws concerning customs.
However, the nullification came into force only in 1832, after the enactment of a new customs law. Although the law reduced customs rates, they were still high for South Carolina. The nullificationists also sent an ultimatum to the federal government that if the federal government resorted to force, South Carolina would leave the Union. Finally, South Carolina withdrew its order of nullification and accepted new tariffs, which ended this dispute.

Explanation:
Britain sent a peace mission to Bhutan in early 1864, in the wake of the recent conclusion of a civil war there, under Ashley Eden.[1] The dzongpon of Punakha – who had emerged victorious – had broken with the central government and set up a rival Druk Desi while the legitimate druk desi sought the protection of the penlop of Paro and was later deposed. The British mission dealt alternately with the rival penlop of Paro and the penlop of Trongsa (the latter acted on behalf of the druk desi), but Bhutan rejected the peace and friendship treaty it offered partially because of the previous unilateral British annexation of some Assam duars. Britain declared war in November 1864. Bhutan had no regular army, and what forces existed were composed of dzong guards armed with matchlocks, bows and arrows, swords, knives, and catapults. Some of these dzong guards, carrying shields and wearing chainmail armor, engaged the well-equipped British forces.
Storming of Dewangiri fort.
The fort, known at the time as Dewangiri, at Deothang was dismantled by the British during 1865. The British initially suffered a humiliating defeat at Deothang and when they recaptured Dewangiri they destroyed much in an attempt to compensate.
The Duar War lasted only five months and, despite some battlefield victories by Bhutanese forces which included the capture of two howitzer guns, resulted in the loss of 20% of Bhutan's territory, and forced cession of formerly occupied territories.[2] Under the terms of the Treaty of Sinchula, signed 11 November 1865, Bhutan ceded territories in the Assam Duars and Bengal Duars, as well as the 83 km² of territory of Dewangiri in southeastern Bhutan, in return for an annual subsidy of 50,000 rupees. The Treaty of Sinchula stood until 1910, when Bhutan and British India signed the Treaty of Punakha, effective until 1947.
