THE THIRD CARNATIC WAR (1758-1763)
In 1756, a war, known as the Seven Years' War, broke out between the French and English in Europe. This led to a war in India between the two Companies.
The third and the final round of struggle proved decisive in the Battle of Wandisvash in 1760. Pon<:licherry was besieged by the English forces under General Coote till it surrendered in 1761. This effectively ended French power in India. Pondicherry and some other French settlements were no doubt returned to the French by the Treaty of Paris (1763) but these were never to be fortified.
