Answer 1

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.
