Question

what was the reason for tipu failure in third Anglo Mysore war

Answer 1

The Third Anglo–Mysore War (1790–1792) was a conflict in South India between the Kingdom of Mysore and the East India Company and its allies, including the Maratha Empire and the Nizam of Hyderabad. It was the third of four Anglo–Mysore Wars.

Answer 2

Answer:

Tipu sultan, allied with the French and invaded the nearby state of Travancore in 1789, which was a British ally. The British were already looking for an excuse to crush Tipu's power. Hence,a war started between the two, resulting in the defeat of Mysore. The war ended after the siege of Srirangapatnam in 1792. Tipu was forced to sign the Treaty of Srirangapatnam. Mysore had to handover half of its territory to the British along with Tipu's two sons as war hostages.
