Long detailed answer: The First Carnatic War (1744-48) in india was triggered mainly due to the War of the Austrian Succession, and saw the French win a series of victories over their English rivals in the south of India, although the pre-war situation was restored by the Treaty of Aix-le-Chapelle.
Reason for First Carnatic War:
War was declared between France and England -as a result of Austrian succession in Europe and this led to first Carnatic war -the war had a very interesting development _ before the war broke out already there was tension between british and french companies and french governor of Mauritius had sent a naval squadron to Carnatic to operate against the ENGLISH company - however as situation had descalated this squadron was recalled - so when actual war was declared french company in Carnatic had no naval support - Dupleix recalled the french squadron from Mauritius which performed well against British navy which was quite a failure - french captured main british base in Carnatic madras - another important incident in the battle was the revelation that well trained European troops could put large indian armies to flight as Dupleix did against nawab of Carnatic - yet another interesting development of this war was arrival on scene of indian history a resolute and exceptional young man Robert Clive as well As a british army major stringer Lawrence heading british army on rent to company and Robert stringer is regarded as father of indian army - the war was strategically inconclusive as madras was returned to british company - it may be said that french prestige gained to an extent in India
