explain the causes and result for anglo mysore war
Answers
The primary cause of the fourth Mysore War was the imperialist policy of Lord Wellesley, though of course, Tipu Sultan too was preparing himself to settle his score with the English. Tipu did not forget his defeat and humiliation at the hands of the English in the third Anglo-Mysore War. He prepared himself to restore his lost power and prestige. He further fortified his capital, increased the number of his infantry and cavalry and improved their training, suppressed the rebellious chiefs and encouraged agriculture. In 1796, the titular Hindu Raja of Mysore died and Tipu refused to place his minor son ever nominally on the throne and declared himself the Sultan. He sought alliances with foreign powers against the English and sent ambassadors to Arabia, Turkey, Afghanistan and the French at the island of Mauritius. He became the member of the French Jacobin Club and called himself ‘Citizen Tipu’. Some French volunteers arrived in Srirangapatnam and planted the tree of liberty there. A small contingent of French soldiers also arrived at Mangalore at the same time when Lord Wellesley reached Calcutta. Thus, it was clear that Tipu desired to take revenge on the English.
