Question

first Carnatic war in short answer



​

Answer 1

Answer:

The First Carnatic War (1746–1748) was the Indian theatre of the War of the Austrian Succession and the first of a series of Carnatic Wars that established early British dominance on the east coast of the Indian subcontinent. In this conflict the British and French East India Companies vied with each other on land for control of their respective trading posts at Madras, Pondicherry, and Cuddalore, while naval forces of France and Britain engaged each other off the coast. The war set the stage for the rapid growth of French hegemony in southern India under the command of French Governor-General Joseph François Dupleix in the Second Carnatic War.

Answer 2

Answer:

First Carnatic War (1744-1748)

In 1744, England and France were at war in Europe.

This had its impact in India as well.

The British threatened to occupy Pondicherry.

The French, led by Dupleix, retaliated by occupying Madras.

The British appealed to Anwar-ud-din,the Nawab of Carnatic, for help, as Madras fell in his territory.

The Nawab sent an army, but was defeated by the French.

Finally in 1748 with the end of the war in Europe, Anglo-french hostilities in India also ceased.

In accordance with the peace settlement, Madras was returned to the British.
