The correct answer is Treaty Of Mangalore.

Key Points

• Treaty Of Mangalore:-
  • It was signed in 1784 between the British East India Company and Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore.
  • The treaty ended the Second Anglo-Mysore War, which was fought between 1780 and 1784.
  • The treaty allowed Tipu Sultan to keep his territories, but he had to pay a large indemnity to the British.

Additional Information

• Treaty of Madras:-
  • The Treaty of Madras was a peace agreement signed on April 4, 1769, to end the First Anglo-Mysore War. Here's a breakdown of its key points:
  • Parties Involved:

    • Mysore: Ruled by Hyder Ali at the time.
      British East India Company: Represented by Lord Harry Verelst.

    • Purpose: To formally end the war that had been ongoing since 1767.

    • Key Terms: Exchange of Territories: Both sides agreed to return the territories they had captured during the war.
      Mutual Assistance: The treaty included a clause stating that the British would assist Mysore if attacked by its neighbors. This clause became a point of contention later.
      Significance:

      The Treaty of Madras was a temporary truce. Hyder Ali felt the British didn't uphold their promise of assistance when Mysore faced the Marathas in 1771. This contributed to renewed conflict and the later Anglo-Mysore Wars.
