The Carnatic Wars
The Carnatic region was the Hinterland of Coromandel coast. The Anglo-French rivalry started from here. In a span of 20 years, the British out the French in carnatic Wars to establish their supermacy. These three wars, beginning 1744, were fought over possession of territories, over the issue of successors to the throne among the heirs of the local rulers and the war of succession among other rulers of neighbouring territories.
These methods of colonisation need to be carefully noted.
The First Carnatic War ( 1746 - 1748 )
It was found in the background of Anglo-French rivalry in Europe on Indian soil. In 1746 Joseph François Dupleix was the French Governor of Pondicherry in India. The French won the first war but on account of the Austrian war of succession in which the French had lost to England, they had exchanged Madras ( Chennai ) for a place called Louisburg in America.
The Second Carnatic War ( 1749 - 1754 )
The French initially succeeded in placing their own candidates on the Thrones in Hyderabad and Carnatic. However, by a Treaty, the French and English restored the territories captured from each other.
The Third Carnatic War ( 1756 - 1760 )
It was the extension of the seven year war in Europe that is started in 1756. In this war, the French lost almost everything they had in India. Their military general, Count De Lally who had replaced Dupleix was recalled, condemned and executed.

Throughout the middle 18th century, a set of armed struggles in India was known as the Carnatic Wars. The conflicts included many nominally sovereign kings and their vassals, conflicts for territory and succession, and incorporated a strategic and aggressive conflict between the French East India Company and the British East India Company. A total of three Carnatic Wars were fought between the French and the English East India Company.
