Second Anglo-Mysore War

The Second Anglo-Mysore War (1780-1784) was a conflict between the British East India Company and the Kingdom of Mysore, led by Sultan Tipu. Tensions arose from British expansion in India, threatening Mysore's territory. The war involved several battles, including notable ones at Anegundi and the Siege of Bellary. After years of fighting, the Treaty of Mangalore was signed in 1784, restoring pre-war territories. This war exemplified the struggle for power in India during colonial times and highlighted the growing influence of the British in the region, setting the stage for future conflicts.
