Question

Opposition to british rule in karnataka What are reasons for first anglo mysore war?

Answer 1

The main reason for the war was Hyder Ali and the attack by Marathas.

• The primary reason for the Maratha war was the expanded obstruction of the British in the undertakings, both interior and outside, of the Marathas.
• The battle for power between Madhav Rao and Raghunath Rao also became a contributing factor.
• Hyder Ali fabricated a solid armed force and annexed various areas in the South. The British, alongside the Marathas and the Nizam of Hyderabad pronounced war on Mysore.
• Hyder was able to carry the Marathas and Nizam to his side with skillful strategy and paid Marathas to turn them neutral and the War proceeded with no conclusion.
