Notes:

After the American War of Independence, France had signed a treaty of friendship with America (1778) and so Britain declared war against France.

In a similar context of Spain reaching an agreement with America, and thereby being dragged into the war against England (1779) England remained isolated.
In India the coming together of the Nizam and the Marathas, supported by the French aggravated the situation further.
Haider Ali wanted to turn England’s difficulty to its advantage and marched on Karnataka.

The Treaty of Mangalore was signed in March 1784, according to which both parties agreed to give up their conquests and release the prisoners.
Third Mysore War took place in 1790-92.
