Question

The Treaty of Mangalore exposed the weakness of the English. True or False? Why?

Answer 1

The answer is True.

The Treaty of Mangalore exposed the weakness of the English. This treaty was signed in March 1784 and marked the end of the Second Anglo-Mysore War. After a war that lasted for more than a year, the British were forced to accept defeat and sign the treaty. Hence, this treaty not only showcased Mysore’s military strength and Tipu’s enhanced caliber but also exposed the weakness of the English at the same time.

This treaty paved way for the slow decline and end of the British East India Company.
