Question

Tipu's wars of aggression precis writing

Answer 1

Answer:

Though Tipu succeeded his father unopposed, he was still an insurper. His authority depended on an army too costly for his revenue. he had, therefore, to extend his territory wrested from ever watchful neighbours professing Hinduism, which was the religion of most of his subjects. He had, therefore, to lean for support on his co-religionist and gave a religious bias to his wars of aggression. Tipu’s pretext was no worse than the pretext on which most European monarchs have waged their wars of aggression viz., internal distraction in a neighbouring state, extension of the boundaries of a state in accordance with geographical sequence and establishing strong government in place of one that has lost its influence.
