Which British Military officer defeated Tipu Sutal in India, Napolean Banoparte in Europe and eventually became the Duke of Wellington ?

Arthur Wellesley, later known as the 1st Duke of Wellington, was a pivotal British military figure who served in both India and Europe. In India, he played a crucial role in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War, leading the 33rd Regiment at the Siege of Seringapatam in 1799, which resulted in the defeat and death of Tipu Sultan [t1][t6]. His military success continued in the Second Anglo-Maratha War, notably at the Battle of Assaye [t6]. Upon returning to Europe, he led the Allied forces during the Peninsular War and achieved his most famous victory by defeating Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 [t1][t3]. For his service, he was raised to the highest rank of the peerage as the Duke of Wellington [t1]. While his brother Richard Wellesley served as Governor-General during the Mysore campaign, it was Arthur who commanded the troops on the field [c1][t1].
