Neat article. Doesn’t support your position. Britain devoted very little resources to the war against Mysore which they lost anyways. Your position is fantasy.

Britain wasn't presented with a choice. This is a baffling position to assert.

That’s a reason India was more profitable longterm than America. What it doesn’t say is “Britain devoted more resources to losing the second Mysore war than losing the Revolutionary war”….
…because they didn’t. In fact it wasn’t even close.
