The '''Third Anglo-Mysore War (1789–92)''' was between [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipu_Sultan Tipu Sultan] ruler of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysore_kingdom Kingdom of Mysore] and the [[Madras Presidency]] of the British [[East India Company]]. Tipu invaded [[Travancore]] on 29 December 1789 and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Cornwallis%2C_1st_Marquess_Cornwallis 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.
