  • In 1816, after Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated, the French had control of the following establishments: Pondicherry ... Chandernagore Karaikal Mahe Yanam
  • The French established Chandernagore, also known as Chandannagar, as the first commercial post on the Hooghly in 1696.
  • The Sultan of Bijapur sold Pondicherry to them the next year.

  • This colony later gained notoriety as the most significant French presence in India.
  • The British regained possession of the area in 1793 during the Siege of Pondicherry, a battle that was a part of the French Revolutionary Wars; they subsequently gave it back to France in 1814.
  • The British gave the French permission to keep their colony in India after they acquired control of the nation in the late 1850s.
