Question
Answer the following question:
What were the causes of the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War? What were its results?
Solution
The Treaty of Seringapattam was short-lived. Lord Wellesley, the Governor-General wanted the ruler of Mysore, Tipu to accept the Subsidiary Alliance but Tipu refused to do so. Tipu sought French help. The British feared that the French might land in support of Tipu. So in 1799, the British went to war against Tipu. The Nizam joined the British but the Marathas remained neutral and the French support never came. Tipu was killed in the battle on 4th May 1799.
