Explanation:

In 1756 there broke out Seven Years War in Europe and before long the two nations began to fight in India also. In India it was considered the Third Carnatic War. The French government sent a powerful army under the command of Count de Lally. He was forced to retire to Pondicherry and was defeated by Sir Eyre Coote in the battle of Wandiwash in 1760.
The French lost the possession to the British and also other territories. The war came to an end with the Signing of the Treaty of Paris. The acquired territories of both the sides were restored, but the French lost their influence in India for ever.
