Detailed Solution & Logic
1767
📘 Explanation
The First Anglo–Mysore War began in 1767 between the British East India Company and the Kingdom of Mysore ruled by Hyder Ali.
The main reason for the war was the expansionist policy of the British in South India, which threatened Mysore’s power. Hyder Ali formed alliances with the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Marathas to challenge British dominance.
The war lasted from 1767 to 1769 and ended with the Treaty of Madras, under which both sides agreed to return captured territories and support each other in case of attack.
📘 व्याख्या
प्रथम आंग्ल–मैसूर युद्ध वर्ष 1767 में ब्रिटिश ईस्ट इंडिया कंपनी और मैसूर राज्य के शासक हैदर अली के बीच शुरू हुआ।
इस युद्ध का मुख्य कारण दक्षिण भारत में अंग्रेजों का बढ़ता हुआ विस्तार था, जिससे मैसूर राज्य की शक्ति को खतरा पैदा हो गया। हैदर अली ने हैदराबाद के निजाम और मराठों के साथ मिलकर अंग्रेजों का विरोध किया।
यह युद्ध 1767 से 1769 तक चला और अंत में मद्रास की संधि (Treaty of Madras) के साथ समाप्त हुआ, जिसमें दोनों पक्षों ने जीते हुए क्षेत्रों को वापस करने और एक-दूसरे की सहायता करने का वादा किया।
