Question

The 'srirangapatna treaty' was inevitable for tippu.Explain

Answer 1

The third Anglo-Mysore was proving costly for Tipu . Moreover The British also were in favour of a Treaty . Treaty of Seringapatam was signed on 18 March 1792 at the end of the Third Anglo-Mysore War.
Its signatories included Lord Cornwallis on behalf of the British East India Company, representatives of the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Maratha Empire, and Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore.

Answer 2

The British considered Tippu Sultan as their strongest enemy in the South. When the British declared war on Tippu, he decided to fight them all alone. In 1790, Tippu’s capital Srirangapatna was surrounded on all sides by the British army. Tippu lost heavily in this war which lasted for a little over two years. Rather than attempting to storm the works at great cost to all sides, the British entered into negotiations with Tippu to end the conflict. The resulting treaty, ‘ The Treaty of Srirangapatna’ was signed on March 18, 1792.
