The Third Anglo-Mysore War (1789–92) was between Tipu Sultan ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore and the Madras Presidency of the British East India Company. Tipu invaded Travancore on 29 December 1789 and Lord Cornwallis declared the opening of hostilities on 27 January 1790. Cornwallis took control of the Company forces in January 1791. The Treaty of Seringapatam on 18 March 1792 arranged the payment of £3 million by Tipu and the ceding of Malabar and Palghat to the Company.
