Explanation:

- First Carnatic War: This was part of the Austrian Succession War and was primarily fought by European powers over territorial disputes in India. It did not decide the fate of the French in India.

- Battle of Buxar: Fought in 1764, this battle was decisive for the British over the combined forces of Bengal, Awadh, and the Mughal Empire. It established British supremacy in India but did not involve the French.

- Battle of Plassey: Occurred in 1757, marking the beginning of British control in India. It involved British and local forces, not the French directly.

- Battle of Wandiawash: This battle was fought in 1760 between the British and the French. It was critical and effectively ended French colonial ambitions in India.
