Question

Tipu Sultan fought in which of the following Anglo Mysore war?
A.2nd
B.3rd
C.4th
D.All

Answer 1

Hint: The Anglo-Mysore Wars were a series of wars waged in the last three decades of the 18th century between the Kingdom of Mysore, on the one hand, and the British East India Company (mainly embodied by the Madras Presidency), the Maratha Dynasty, and the Nizam of Hyderabad, on the other.

Complete answer: Tipu Sultan was the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore, and Sultan Hyder Ali of Mysore's eldest son.
Tipu has so far been seen as a man of creativity and bravery in the larger national narrative, a brilliant military strategist who, in a brief 17-year reign, mounted the company's most serious challenge in India.
The first Anglo-Mysore War (1767-69) was waged at the age of 17 and later, in the Second Anglo-Mysore War (1780-84), against the Marathas.
Second Anglo-Mysore War (1780-84) –
The Second Anglo-Mysore War began when Hyder Ali conquered the Carnatic in July 1780.
General Sir Hector Munro took command of the British forces and marched his troops to Kanchipuram.
Third Anglo Mysore War-
Tipu Sultan had turned the wars against the British, Kerala, and the Marathas into a religious war, as his personal letters have shown.
He massacred numerous Hindus and Christians, did not spare women and children, and destroyed numerous churches, Hindu temples and even synagogues.
Fourth Anglo War-
The Fourth Anglo-Mysore War was a dispute in South India between the Kingdom of Mysore and the British East India Company and the Hyderabad Deccan in 1798–99.
This was the last confrontation of the four Anglo-Mysore Wars. The British took the capital of Mysore.

Hence, Option D. All is the correct answer

Note: In the Battle of Pollilur, also known as the Battle of Perambakkam, on 10 Sep 1780, Tipu defeated Colonel Baillie 's forces, the most humiliating defeat ever suffered by the British at the hands of the Indians.But In the battle of 4th Anglo-Mysore war, ruler Tipu Sultan was killed. Britain took indirect possession of Mysore, returning the Wodeyar dynasty to the throne of Mysore.
