Nizam and Marathas allied against Tipu Sultan but Tipu defeated the alliance. Then Cornwallis made a triple alliacne with Nizam and Maratha (Cornwallis was the first governor to India with military administrative power). Tipu attacked Travencore, East India Company took the side of king of Travencore. British troop captured Bangalore on 29 Januray 1791 and reached Srirangapatnam on 13 May. In March 1792, the Treaty of Srirangapatnam took place when Tipu realized the impossibility of further resistance. By this treaty Tipu surrendered half of his empire. East India Company got Barahmahal, Dindigul and Malabar, Marathas got the area north of Tungabhadra and Nizam got the area between river Pennar and Krishna. Tipu sent his two sons as hostages to Cornwallis camp.
