The prior reason for the introduction of the war was the alliance of the French with Mysore. This alliance gained prominence over a period of time and demolished major fields of power in the 1750s. As a result of this event, the Britishers found the alliance very strong and dominating and demanded the shift of the power in the belt. In the “Conquest of Mysore” the Britishers fought against Mysore and resulted in the defeat of the great ruler Tipu Sultan. There are three different stages of the “Anglo–Mysore Wars” that resulted in the ultimate victory of the Britishers.
“Conquest of Mysore”
The “Conquest of Mysore” took place in several stages that ultimately suggested the formation of the strong bond between the Britishers and other helping alliances of the Britishers. As a part of saving the company was built by the British “East India Company” for trading and exporting products for the financial and economic growth of the Englishmen. This source of financial stability was seen to be on the verge of demolition and thus the Britishers formed an alliance with the native Indian rulers and succeeded in the “Conquest of Mysore”.
Anglo–Mysore Wars
“Anglo–Mysore Wars” are a series of wars that took place over three decades of the 18th century. The prior base of the war was fought between the
Britisher company, “East India Company”
Martha
“Nizam of Hyderabad”
“Kingdom of Travancore”
A joint effort was made to fight and win the war against the “Anglo–Mysore Wars”. The first “Anglo–Mysore Wars” took place in the southern part of India where Mysore remained the victorious personality. On the other hand in the second “Anglo–Mysore Wars” there was an uprising of dissatisfaction in the former ruler in context to the Britishers and its alliance with “Nizam of Hyderabad” and other helping alliances. Thus, it resulted in the breakdown of the second battle of the “Anglo–Mysore Wars”. In this war, the Britishers with the strong alliance rose to the prominence of the victory and introduced the “Mysore Treaty”. In the third and the final “Anglo–Mysore Wars” Mysore remained as the defector, losing in the end stage of the battle and losing the power of possession and power of authority as the ruler of Mysore.
British defeated Tipu Sultan
Tipu sultan was widely known as the “Tiger of Mysore” for his power and act of bravery in context to the act of British eradication. Tipu Sultan emerged as the prominent ruler of India during the 1790s and followed the path of his father Hyder Ali, who conducted the first “Anglo–Mysore Wars” in India. As a powerful ruler Hyder Ali won the first “Anglo–Mysore Wars” and stood as a challenge to the Britishers. Tipu Sultan defeated the Britishers in the “Siege of Seringapatam” in 1799 and this marked a fear among the Englishmen about Tipu Sultan. As part of the preparation for the conquest, the British took an extra measure in defeating the tiger of Bengal in the last battle of “Anglo–Mysore Wars”.
“Nizam of Hyderabad” and Marathas in coagulation with the Britishers fought in the fourth “Anglo–Mysore Wars” to defeat Tipu Sultan. The accession of the “Siege of Seringapatam” acted as a major cause of fighting the battle of “Conquest of Mysore”. The intention of the Britisher was clear to the tiger of Mysore and thus he conducted the final battle of “Anglo–Mysore Wars”. The joint alliance of the Britisher along with the Marthas and Travancore army led to the fall of the great ruler. “British defeated Tipu Sultan” and possessed over their long lost property of “Siege of Seringapatam”, that the sultan continued to protect till his very last breath.
Conclusion
The predominant reason for the emergence of the “Conquest of Mysore” was the powerful ruler of Mysore in the 1750s purchasing peace at the cost of money from the Britishers. This reason along with the oppression act of the British resulted in the development of anger in Hyder Ali, the former ruler of Mysore. The process of further anger continued in the later generation of the dynasty. Tipu Sultan emerged as a prominent ruler like his father Hyder Ali, who also fought in all over four “Anglo–Mysore Wars”. The danger and the motive of the Britishers were quite evident to Tipu Sultan, the last ruler of Mysore and thus he wanted the eradication of the Englishmen from India.
