The real cause of the war was the beginning of the war of Austrian succession in 1740 in Europe in which England and France found themselves in opposite camps. When the war began in Europe the English and the French companies sued for peace in India and requested their respective home governments accordingly. The French government agreed but the British government paid no heed to the request of its company. It dispatched a naval fleet with a view to destroying the French trade in India. The fleet succeeded in destroying some French ships in the Indian ocean. One of the destroyed ships belonged to Dupleix, the governor of the French company who was enraged and decided to fight back the English. The first Carnatic war, therefore, started in 1746.
