In 1766 the Marathas, ʿAlī Khān, nizam of Hyderabad, and the British entered a triple alliance against Hyder, but he soon bought off the Marathas, captured Mangalore, and defeated the Bombay army of the British. In April 1769 he secured from the British a promise of aid in an attack, but when the Marathas invaded his territories in 1771, the British did not send assistance. Long offended by this failure, in 1779 he increased his army with French and European soldiers of fortune and joined in a confederacy with the nizam and the Marathas against the British, who had further provoked him by capturing the French settlement of Mahé, which was within Hyder’s territories. In 1780 he warred on the Karnatic (Carnatic), a region of southern India, destroyed a British detachment of 2,800 men, and seized Arcot. The British then succeeded in detaching the nizam and the Marathas from Hyder and defeated him three times successively in 1781, at the battles of Porto Novo, Pollilur, and Sholinghur; Hyder lost more than 10,000 men at Porto Novo.
