Answer:
Hyder Ali built a strong army and annexed many regions in the South including Bidnur, Canara, Sera, Malabar and Sunda.
He also took French support in training his army.
This alarmed the British.
Course of the war:
The British, along with the Marathas and the Nizam of Hyderabad declared war on Mysore.
Hyder Ali was able to bring the Marathas and the Nizam to his side with skillful diplomacy.
But the British under General Smith defeated Ali in 1767.
His son Tipu Sultan advanced towards Madras against the English.
Result of the war:
In 1769, the Treaty of Madras was signed which brought an end to the war.
The conquered territories were restored to each other.
It was also agreed upon that they would help each other in case of a foreign attack.
