The panic-stricken Madras government concluded the humiliating Treaty of

Madras in 1769 on the basis of mutual restitution of each other's territories
and a defensive alliance between the two parties committing the English to
help Hyder Ali in case he was attacked by another power.
Treaty of Madras: It was signed by Hyder Ali and the allies consisting of the
Company, the Raja of Tanjore, and the Malabar ruler.

The Second Anglo-Mysore War (1780-1784)

The treaty of 1769 between Hyder Ali and the English company proved more in
the nature of a truce and Hyder Ali accused the company of not observing the
terms of the defensive treaty by refusing to help him when the Marathas
attacked Mysore in 1771.
Hyder found the French more helpful than the English. Further in 1778 English
in India seized the French settlements including Mahe a port which was very
crucial for Hyder Ali for the entry of supplies.
Hyder Ali tried to take Mahe port but in vain.
He arranged a joint front with the Nizam and the Marathas against the
common enemy -the English East India Company. The war lasted from 1780-
1784.
But he died in 1782 and was succeeded by his son Tipu Sultan.
Tipu continued the war for another year but absolute success eluded both the
sides.
Tired of war the two sides concluded peace Treaty of Mangalore.
By this Treaty it was decided that English would return Srirangapatnam to Tipu
and Tipu would handover Fort of Badnur to English.
Treaty of Mangalore: Both sides agreed to a mutual restoration of
possessions (barring the forts of Amboorgur and Satgur) and Tipu undertook
not to make any claims on the Carnatic in future. Tipu agreed to release all
prisoners of war and he had to restore the factory and privileges possessed
by the Company at Calicut until 1779.

The Third Anglo-Mysore War (1789-1792)

War between Tipu Sultan and British began in 1789 and ended in Tipu's defeat
in 1792.
Even though Tipu fought with exemplary bravery, Lord Cornwallis the Governor
General had succeeded through shrewd diplomacy in isolating him by wining

over the Marathas, the Nizam and the rulers of Travancore and Coorg.
This war again revealed that the Indian powers were short-sighted enough to

aid the foreigner against another Indian power for the sake of temporary
advantages.
The Third Mysore War came to an end by the Treaty of Srirangapatnam in
March 1792.
Treaty of Srirangapatnam: This treaty resulted in the surrender of nearly half
of Mysore territory to the British.
Tipu also had to pay a war indemnity of over three crores of rupees.

The Fourth Anglo-Mysore War (1799)

With his defeat in the third Anglo-Mysore war, Tipu was burning with revenge.
He wanted to get back his territory and to achieve that objective he carried on
negotiations with the French and Zaman Shah of Kabul.
Tipu wanted his allies to expel the English.
Lord Wellesley after making Subsidiary Alliance with the Nizam asked Tipu
Sultan to accept the same but he refused.
Mysore was attacked from two sides.
The main army under General Harris supported by Nizam's subsidiary force
under Arthur Wellesley attacked Mysore from the east while another army
advanced from Bombay.
Tipu was at rst defeated by the Bombay army and was later on defeated by
the General Harris at Mallavalli. Tipu died ghting bravely.
The members of his family were interned at Vellore.
A boy of the earlier Mysore royal family was installed on the Gaddi of Mysore
and a Subsidiary Alliance was imposed.

Thus, the fourth Mysore War destroyed the state of Mysore which was ruled by
Hyder Ali 33 years.
