The course of the Third Carnatic War
In 1756, the Seven Year’s War broke out in Europe and once again England and France were pitted against one another. No major engagements would take place between the two in the Indian Subcontinent until 1757.
After the Battle of Plassey in 1757, the British forces wrested Chandannagar (in Bengal) from the French.
The French, under Count de Lally, captured Fort St. George and attacked the English to acquire Madras.
But he was defeated by English forces under Sir Eyre Coote in the Battle of Wandiwash in 1760.
The French lost their Indian possessions including Pondicherry, Mahe, Gingee and Karaikal to the British.
The war ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763.
