Question

5. What was the main reason for the Anglo- French rivalry
in India?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Anglo-French conflict in India lasted for nearly 20 years and led to the establishment of British power in India. The English Company was the wealthier of the two because of its superiority in trade. It also possessed naval superiority. In 1745, the English navy captured French ships off the South-east coast of India and threatened Pondicherry.
