Answer:
First Anglo-Mysore War
The First Anglo-Mysore War (1767–69) saw Hyder Ali enjoy some measure of success against the British, almost capturing Madras. The British convinced the Nizam of Hyderabad to attack Hyder. British and the Nizam signed a new treaty with the British in February 1768. Hyder Ali had to contend with a British Bombay army attacking the west and a Madras army attacking from the northeast. However, Hyder's attack towards Madras resulted in the Madras government suing for peace, and the resultant Treaty of Madras.
Second Anglo-Mysore War
The Second Anglo-Mysore War (1780–84) witnessed bloodier battles with fortunes fluctuating between the contesting powers. Tipu defeated Baillie at the Battle of Pollilur in Sept. 1780, and Braithwaite at Kumbakonam in Feb. 1782, both of whom were taken prisoner to Seringapatam. Tipu continued the war following his father's death. Finally, the war ended with the signing a treaty on 11 March 1784, the Treaty of Mangalore, which restored the status quo antebellum. The Treaty of Gajendragad in April 1787 ended the conflict with the Maratha.[1]
Third Anglo-Mysore War
In the Third Anglo-Mysore War (1790–92), Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore and an ally of France, invaded the nearby state of Travancore in 1789 which was a British ally. British forces were commanded by Governor-General Cornwallis himself. The resultant war lasted three years and was a resounding defeat for Mysore. The war ended after the 1792 Siege of Seringapatam and the signing of the Treaty of Seringapatam, according to which Tipu had to surrender half of his kingdom to the British East India Company and its allies.
Fourth Anglo Mysore War
The Fourth Anglo-Mysore War (1798–99) saw the death of Tipu Sultan and further reductions in Mysorean territory. Mysore's alliance with the French was seen as a threat to the East India Company and Mysore was attacked from all four sides. The Nizam of Hyderabad and the Marathas launched an invasion from the north. The British won a decisive victory at the Siege of Seringapatam (1799). Tipu was killed during the defense of the city. Much of the remaining Mysorean territory was annexed by the British, the Nizam and the Marathas. Around Mysore and Seringapatam, was restored to the Indian prince belonging to the Wodeyar dynasty, whose forefathers had been the actual rulers before Hyder Ali became the de facto ruler. Hence, after Tipu's death subsidiary alliance was imposed on Mysore
