The Maratha–Mysore War was a conflict in the late 18th century India between the Maratha Empire and the Kingdom of Mysore. Begun in February 1785, it ended with the signing of a peace agreement following the Battle of Gajendragad in June 1787.[1] In the aftermath of the Second Anglo-Mysore War (1780-1784), Mysorean ruler Tipu Sultan sought to forestall offensive moves by the Marathas, who had established a military alliance with the Nizam of Hyderabad to recover territories both had lost to Mysore in previous conflicts. Much of the desired territory was subject to marches, countermarches, and sieges of fortified points. The Marathas also attempted to draw the British East India Company into the pending conflict, but a neutrality policy implemented by the new governor-general, Lord Charles Cornwallis made its participation impossible.
