Anglo-Mysore Wars

1767 CE – 1799 CE

Four wars between the British and the Kingdom of Mysore, ruled by the innovative Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan — the 'Tiger of Mysore'. Tipu Sultan pioneered the military use of iron-cased rockets. His death at the Siege of Seringapatam (1799) removed Britain's most formidable Indian opponent.
