Answer
Travancore was the target of Tipu Sultan's attack in 1789. Tipu Sultan, the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore, sought to expand his territory and influence in southern India. He invaded Travancore, a prosperous kingdom on the Malabar Coast, with the intention of conquering it. However, the Travancore army, aided by the British East India Company, successfully resisted Tipu's forces, forcing him to retreat.
