== Summary ==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. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Medows General William Medows] was appointed to command the British forces but waged an ineffectual campaign in 1790 eventually being recalled to Madras. Cornwallis took control of the Company forces in January 1791fighting a series of action culminating in the Siege of Seringapatam. 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.
