The Kingdom of Mysore made alliance with the French who helped to train its army. This put it at odds with the British at Madras who agreed to help the Nizam of Hyderabad against his neighbours. The British defeated Mysore in every one of a series of engagements but the result was a treaty which restored the status quo ante.
