Consider the following pairs:

Solution

● Pair 1 is incorrect: The First Anglo Mysore War (1767-69) continued for a year-and-a-half and concluded with Treaty of Madras. The treaty provided for the exchange of prisoners and mutual restitution of conquests. Haidar Ali was promised the help of the English in case he was attacked by any other power. ● Pair 2 is incorrect: The Second Anglo Mysore War (1780-84) stated due to English breaching the treaty of Madras as they did not come to aid of Haidar Ali when attacked by the Marathas. After intial success it again resulted in stalemate. Meanwhile Haider Ali died in 1782 and his son, Tipu Sultan, carried on the war for one year without any positive outcome. Fed up with an inconclusive war, both sides opted for peace, negotiating the Treaty of Mangalore under which each party gave back the territories it had taken from the other ● Pair 3 is incorrect: Third Anglo Mysore War (1790-91): Over a dispute between Tipu and the state of Travancore, The English, siding with Travancore, and Tipu were again at loggerheads, but this time odds were against Tipu. Consequently, he had to pay heavily under the Treaty of Seringapatam. Treaty of Seringapatam: Under this treaty, nearly half of the Mysorean territory was taken over by the victors. A war damage of three crore rupees was taken from Tipu. Half of the war indemnity was to be paid immediately, while the rest was to be given in installments, for which Tipu’s two sons were taken as hostages by the English.
