The Anglo-Mysore Wars were a series of four wars between the British and the Kingdom of Mysore in the latter half of the 18th century in Southern India.
Hyder Ali (1721 – 1782)
Started his career as a soldier in the Mysore Army.
Soon rose to prominence in the army owing to his military skills.
He was made the Dalavayi (commander-in-chief), and later the Chief Minister of the Mysore state under Krishnaraja Wodeyar II, ruler of Mysore.
Through his administrative prowess and military skills, he became the de-facto ruler of Mysore with the real king reduced to a titular head only.
He set up a modern army and trained them along European lines.
First Anglo-Mysore War (1767 – 1769)
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 skillful diplomacy.
