Territorial Expansion with Military Attack-

•Anglo- Mysore Wars– By the second half of eighteenth century, Mysore had solidified itself as a powerful political power under the leadership of Haider Ali (1761-1782) and Tipu Sultan (1782-1799). Threatened by modernisation of Mysore with help of French, Company directly resorted to military attack and led to four famous Anglo- Mysore Wars.

• 1. Anglo- Mysore War-I (1767-1769)- The war was fought between British East India Company (accompanied with Marathas and Nizam of Hyderabad) and Haider Ali, the ruler of Mysore. It ended with the victory of Haider Ali ( first Indian ruler who defeated Britisher).
•  “Treaty of Madras” was signed on 4 April, 1769 under which all conquered territories were restored. Both groups agreed to help each other in case of foreign attack.
• CHARTER ACT/ REGULATING ACT 1773 WAS INTRODUCED. Chronologically, First Anglo-Maratha War (1775-1782) was also going on.( detailed in next section)
• 2.Anglo- Mysore War-II (1780-1784)– When EIC disregarded the Treaty of Madras during the attack of Marathas on Mysore, the second war started. One of the reason was that EIC attacked on Mahe, French dominion of Haider Ali. The war was fought between English (Warren Hastings) and Haider Ali (accompanied with Marathas and Nizam of Hyderabad). In this terrifying war, Haider Ali died in 1782 and Tipu Sultan (also called Tiger of Mysore) continued it. 
• 
• Treaty of Mangalore was signed in 1784 under which all captured territories and prisoners were liberated.
• 3.Anglo-Mysore War- III (1790-1792)- Tipu Sultan violated Treaty of Mangalore and refused to free prisoners. Consequently, the third war started between English Lord Cornwallis ( accompanied with Maratha and Nizam of Hyderabad) and Tipu Sultan. With the defeat of Tipu, Treaty of Seringapatnam 1792 was signed under which half Mysore was seized. Both sons on Tipu were taken to hostages and Rs. 3 crore was given as war indemnity.
• CHARTER ACT 1793 WAS INTRODUCED.
• 4.Anglo Mysore War- IV ( 1799): Tipu Sultan disobeyed Treaty of Seringapatnam and final Anglo Mysore war climaxed with annexation of Mysore. Tipu Sultan died while defending his territory Seringapatnam but at the end, policy of Subsidiary Alliance was imposed.( discussed in next section).    
   

• Anglo-Maratha Wars-After the defeat of Third Battle of Panipat(1761), Maratha power almost crushed and it resulted into the demise of Peshwa Bajirao in same year. Madhavarao succeeded him but after his death in 1772,  Narainrao became Peshwa that sowed seeds of envy in heart of Ragunathrao who ultimately seeked help from EIC.
• It is interesting to note that Maratha power was subdivided into various states- Sindhia, Holker, Gaikwad and Bhonsle who were held under common Peshwa headed in Pune.
• 1. Anglo-Maratha War-I- (1775-1782)-The war was fought between English ( Governor-General Warren Hastings) and Maratha( Head- Mahaji Sindhia). British Army lost and Treaty of Wadgaon 1779 was signed under which British govt. got hold of all conquered territories. Later, Treaty of Salbai 1782 was signed under which 20 years of was established between two.
• 2. Anglo-Maratha War-II (1803-1805)-When Sindhia and Bhonsle disregarded the Treaty of Baseein 1802 (between Bajirao and British), second war initiated between English (Lord Wellesley) and Maratha(Bajirao-II). It ended into three major treaties- I) Treaty of Deogaon 1803- EIC imposed the policy of subsidiary alliance and provinces of Cuttack, Bals and west of Warda river was given to British and ;ii) Treaty of Surji-Arjunagaon 1803- led to confiscation of Bundelkhand and territories between Ganga and Yamuna.iii) Treaty of Barhanpur- The policy of subsidiary alliance was accepted by Sindias but Holkars protested.
• CHARTER ACT 1813 WAS INTRODUCED.
• 3. Anglo- Maratha War-III (1817-1818) Fought between English (Lord Hastings) and Bajirao-II led to establishment of supremacy of East India Company in India. Maratha power devastated after the war and Treaty of Mandasor(1818) was signed under which Peshwa was dethroned and Rs. 18 lacs were annually pensioned to him.
• CHARTER ACT 1833 WAS INTRODUCED.

Company’s Policies of Territorial Expansion 

Instead of direct military invasion, EIC used political, diplomatic techniques for territorial expansion. For instance- “Policy of Subsidiary Alliance”by Lord Wellesley- the policy tends Indian rulers to accept and pay a subsidy for the maintenance of British military. It disallows  rulers of India to have independent armies and force them to cede the part of their territory in case of non- payment of subsidy. Awadh( after Battle of Buxar), Mysore (after Anglo-Mysore War-IV), Bombay(after Anglo-Maratha War-IV) and Hyderabad were annexed on the grounds of this policy.
The another such policy was Lord Hastings Claim to Paramountancy.  Under this policy, Company exterted its superiority to threaten Indian rulers in order to annex their kingdoms. This policy led to the annexation of Sind( 1843) and Punjab (1849).
Out of such diplomatic political techniques, the most famous was Dalhousie Doctrine of Lapse. It states that the company has the right to annex the kingdom if the respective Indian ruler died without a male heir. Applying this technique, EIC annexed Satara (1848), Sambalpur( 1850), Udaipur(1852), Nagpur(1853), Jhansi( 1854) and Awadh (1856).
