Carnatic Wars  The First Carnatic War is remembered for the Battle of St. Thome (in Madras) fought between the French forces and the forces of Anwar-ud-din, the Nawab of Carnatic, to whom the English appealed for help.  The First Carnatic War ended in 1748 when the Treaty of Aix-La Chapelle was signed bringing the Austrian War of Succession to a conclusion.  Under the terms of this treaty, Madras was handed back to the English, and the French, in turn, got their territories in North America. Second Carnatic War (1749-54)  The war ended with the Treaty of Pondicherry, signed in 1754, which recognised Muhammad Ali Khan Walajah as the Nawab of the Carnatic. Charles Godeheu replaced Dupleix, who died in poverty back in France. Third Carnatic War  In 1756, the Seven Year’s War broke out in Europe and once again England and France were pitted against one another. No major engagements would take place between the two in the Indian Subcontinent until 1757.  After the Battle of Palacy, the British forces wrested Chandannagar (in Bengal) from the French.  The French, under Count de Lally, captured Fort St. George and attacked the English to acquire Madras.  But he was defeated by English forces under Sir Eyre Coote in the Battle of Wandiwash in 1760.  The French lost their Indian possessions including Pondicherry, Mahe, Gingee and Karaikal to the British.  The war ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763.  As per the Treaty, Chandannagar and Pondicherry were returned to France but they were barred from fortifying them or having troops in them. They could only have trading activities.
