In the first Carnatic war, England and France were in opposite camps. The English navy under Barnett captured a few French ships. The French Governor, Duplex, besieged Madras, in 1746 both by land and sea. This war was ended with the Treaty of Aix-La-Chappelle in 1848 which also concluded the 18 month long siege over Fort St. David. According to this treaty, Madras was returned to English Company in exchange of Louisbourg in North America to France.

Second Carnatic War :-
The Second Carnatic War was a struggle for power between various Indian claimants to power in South India, each supported by the British or the French. The First Carnatic War had been a direct conflict between the two European powers, but in the Second Carnatic war, both of them actually acted in support of rival local claimants in Hyderabad and the Carnatic. It was ended with the Treaty of Pondicherry in 1754. According to the treaty, both British and French decided not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Indian rulers. The British and French returned their conquered parts to each other.

Third Carnatic War :-
The Second Carnatic War did not settle the issue between the French and the British and hence, the Third Carnatic War broke out between them. It lasted for 7 years. It was ended in 1763 with the Treaty of Paris. According to the treaty, Pondicherry, Karaikal and some other French settlements were returned to the French. This war sealed the French ambitions in India and proved the British Supremacy over the French.
