$\huge\bold\red{Answer:-}$

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

Second Anglo-Mysore War

The key-facts about the second Anglo-Mysore war are given in the table below:

Second Anglo-Mysore War

Causes of the War:

The Marathas attacked Mysore in 1771. But the British refused to honour the Treaty of Madras and did not give support to Hyder Ali

As a result, Hyder Ali’s territories were taken by the Marathas. He had to buy peace with the Marathas for a sum of Rs.36 lakh and another annual tribute

This angered Hyder Ali who started hating the British

When the English attacked Mahe, a French possession under Hyder Ali’s dominion, he declared war on the English in 1780

Course of the War:

Hyder Ali forged an alliance with the Nizam and the Marathas and defeated the British forces in Arcot

Hyder Ali died in 1782 and the war was continued by his son Tipu Sultan

Sir Eyre Coote, who had earlier defeated Hyder Ali many times, ended the war inconclusively with the Treaty of Mangalore

Result of the War:

As per the Treaty of Mangalore (11 March 1784), both parties agreed to return the captured territories and prisoners to each other
