Arrange the following in chronological order 1. Third Carnatic War 2. First Burmese War 3. First Mysore War 4. Second Afghan War Which one of the following is the correct sequence of the above ?

The chronological sequence of the mentioned colonial-era wars is as follows: The Third Carnatic War occurred between 1756 and 1763, triggered by the Seven Years' War in Europe [c2, t4]. This was followed by the First Anglo-Mysore War, which took place from 1767 to 1769 between the British and Hyder Ali [t1, t4]. Moving into the 19th century, the First Burmese War was fought from 1824 to 1826, concluding with the Treaty of Yandabo [c1, c3]. Finally, the Second Anglo-Afghan War occurred much later, between 1878 and 1880, during the viceroyalty of Lord Lytton [c1, t3]. Therefore, the correct chronological order is 1 (1756), 3 (1767), 2 (1824), and 4 (1878), which corresponds to the sequence 1-3-2-4.
