Question

Wha was the cause and results of carnatic war -!!! ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The war continued but the French were mostly on the defensive. On January 22, 1760, the battle of Wandiwash took place. The French were defeated decisively and Bussy was taken prisoner. This battle sealed the fate of the French in India. Malleson comments : “It shattered to the grounds the mighty fabric which Martin, Dumas and Dupleix had contributed to erect; it dissipated all the hopes of Lally; it sealed the fate of Pondicherry.” Lally entered into a treaty with Hyder Ali, the ruler of Mysore, to strengthen his position and, certainly, received some military support. But nothing could save the position of the French. Pondicherry was besieged by the English and Lally was forced to surrender after some months on March 16, 1761. After the fall of Pondicherry, the English easily captured the rest of the French cities like Jinji, Mahe etc. The defeat of the French was complete.
