When it saw a danger to its political or economic objectives, the Company resorted to direct armed conflict.
- When it recognised the danger to its political or financial interests, the corporation employed direct armed confrontation, much like in Mysore and many other kingdoms.
- Mysore prospered under rulers like Haider Ali and his son Tipu Sultan.
- Later, they also seized power over the prosperous Malabar coast commerce, where the Company acquired spices like cardamom and pepper.
- Sultan prohibited area traders from doing business with the Company and halted the shipment of several spices through his imperial ports. The business was enraged by this.
- Few wars were also lost to Mysore by the Company, but in the final one, the revolt of Seringapatam, the Company triumphed and Tipu Sultan was put to death.
