What was the reason for the first Carnatic War |
|
Answer» in 1720 France effectively nationalised the French East India Company, and began using it to expand its imperial interests. This became a SOURCE of CONFLICT with the BRITISH in India with the entry of Britain into the war of the Austrian succession in 1744. Hostilities in India began with a British naval attack on a French fleet in 1745, which led the French Governor-General Dupleix to REQUEST additional FORCES. |
