Course of the First Carnatic War

1. France and Britain were on opposite sides of the camp at the War of Austrian Succession that had broken out in Europe in 1740.
2. This Anglo-French rivalry led to their trading companies in India vying with each other for supremacy.
3. The French Governor of Pondicherry Dupleix had raised an army of Indian sepoys under French officers in India.
4. The French East India Company was nationalized in 1720 and France had imperialistic designs on India.
5. In 1745, there was a naval attack on a French fleet by Britain in which even Pondicherry in danger.
6. Dupleix, along with additional French troops from Mauritius defended against this attack and captured Madras, which had been controlled by the English.
7. The English made another attack on Pondicherry but instead faced a heavy loss. The English sought help from the Nawab of Carnatic (Arcot) Anwaruddin Khan.
8. The Nawab asked the French to return Madras to the British.
9. Dupleix tried convincing the Nawab unsuccessfully that Madras would be handed over to him at a later stage.
10. Then, the Nawab sent a huge army to fight the French forces. This army was defeated by the relatively small number of French forces in Mylapore (in modern-day Chennai) in 1746.
11. This exposed the weakness of the armies of the Indian rulers vis-à-vis the efficiently trained armies of the European powers.
12. The war ended in 1748 with the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle also called Treaty of Aachen.

Effects of the First Carnatic War
