Points to remember
The efforts of Tipu to find allies from some foreign countries were simply a pretext for war. When Wellesley was assured of the neutrality of the Nizam and the Marathas, he declared war against Tipu in 1799.

Lord Wellesley, as soon as he arrived in India, decided to finish the power of Tipu Sultan for good. He opened negotiations with the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Marathas and was assured of their neutrality in case of war of the English against Tipu. He then declared war against him in 1799.
