Historical background

FRENCH INDIA - COMPTOIR DE PONDICHERY - SHAH ALAM II

(AH 1173-1221 - 1759-1806)

On September 21, 1746, Mahé de La Bourdonnais seized Madras. The English besieged Pondicherry without success in October 1748. At the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, the French returned Madras. From 1752, France suffered several setbacks in India where the English imposed themselves. In October 1754, Dupleix, who was governor in India, was recalled and disgraced. This is the end of French expansion. In 1759, the French lost Surat and had to evacuate the Deccan. Pondicherry capitulated on January 17, 1761 and Mahé in February. Lally-Tollendal who had defended these two cities will be executed for treason, then rehabilitated. In 1763, at the Treaty of Paris, France lost India except Pondicherry, Chandernagor, Yanaon, Karikal, Mahé and the counters of Masulipatam, Calicut and Surate.
