Question

Dupleix was a great leader but French was defeated by the british.’ Why? Give

three reasons​

Answer 1

Explanation:

He supported Chanda Sahib’s claim to the Nawabship of the Carnatic, and, when the British supported a rival candidate, a largely private war ensued (1751) between the two companies. Mostly as the result of the exploits of Dupleix’s chief rival, the brilliant young British soldier Robert Clive, all the French forces except those in the Deccan were defeated. Dupleix’s grand schemes continued to topple for two more years, and French finances were exhausted in the struggle.

In 1754 Dupleix was recalled to Paris. He had displayed great talents as an organiser, diplomat, and imaginative political visionary, but he had lacked military acumen and the ability to work with others.

Answer 2

Answer:

The capitulation of Madras to the French in 1746 fostered his purpose, but restoration of the city to British control blocked him. He sent an expedition against Fort St. David in 1747, but it was defeated by the nawab of Arcot, who was allied with the British.
