first Anglo Mysore war
Answers
Answer:
The First Anglo–Mysore War (1766–1769) was a conflict in India between the Sultanate of Mysore and the East India Company. The war was instigated in part by the machinations of Asaf Jah II, the Nizam of Hyderabad, who sought to divert the company's resources from attempts to gain control of the Northern Circars.
Answer:
Causes of the War:
Hyder Ali built a strong army and annexed many regions in the South including Bidnur, Canara, Sera, Malabar and Sunda
He also took French support in training his army
This alarmed the British
Course of the War:
The British, along with the Marathas and the Nizam of Hyderabad declared war on Mysore
Hyder Ali was able to bring the Marathas and the Nizam to his side with skilful diplomacy
He paid the Marathas to turn them neutral
War continued for a year-and-a-half without any conclusion
Haidar changed his strategy and suddenly appeared before the gates of Madras
Result of the War:
Following complete chaos and panic at Madras, English was forced to conclude a very humiliating treaty with Haidar on April 4, 1769—Treaty of Madras which brought an end to the war
The conquered territories were restored to each other
It was also agreed that they would help each other in case of a foreign attack
