Explanation:
The Carnatic Wars: The British journey towards power in India began from the south. In 1748, after the death of the Nizam of Hyderabad, the war of succession began. A similar contest also ensued between the sons of the Nawab of Arcot. In both the contests, the French and the British sided with opposing claimants. In the first round of the conflict, which came to be known as the Second Carnatic War 17491754 the French under the leadership of Dupleix, the French Governor of Pondicherry, succeeded in placing their candidates on the thrones of Hyderabad and Acrot. In the First Carnatic War 17461748 Dupleix got his first victory against Nawab Anwar-ul-Din of Arcot. From the military point of view, it was a small battle. But its historical significance was profound. With the second victory, Dupleix's ambitions soared further. But the intervention of Robert Clive, a brave employee of the English East India Company, changed the British fortune in 1752. Clive succeeded in the capturing Arcot from the French and putting the British candidate on the throne. His further successes during the course of the Third Carnatic War 17561760 saw the British emerge as the strongest European power in India.
After the Carnatic wars, the theatre of conflict shifted to Bengal. In 1757, the French lost Chandernagar in Bengal to the British. In the same year, Clive laid the foundation of the British empire in India by defeating Siraj-ud-Daulah, the Nawab of Bengal, in the Battle of Plassey.
