Where can I find history of Pune or `Peshwa's`?

score:1

This is my attempt at briefly answering the questions.

It was a generic position similar to a Prime Minister, but mainly it is used to rulers of Maratha Empire which was seated at Pune, under the rule of Balaji Vishwanath and his successors until Bajirao II.
The title existed from the start of Maratha Empire, but again, the title Peshwa is mainly used for the period from Balaji Vishwanath, i.e. 1713 - 1818.
"Peshwai", as it's called, ended in 1818, when British annexed the region.
A quick math tells me 1818-1713+1 = 106 years, if Peshwa is taken in the sense I described above.
It was a complicated thing, as the history of the relations spanned across a century, and deserves a question of its own (and even that would be too broad for this site). Certainly it wasn't all friendly, especially since British annexed it in the end.
This link explains how Balaji Vishwanath got the title of a Peshwa.
What do you mean significance? Significance in which aspect? Even this is too broad to answer. 7.1. Same as above.
