Carnatic Wars

The Carnatic Wars were a series of three conflicts during the 18th century in South India, primarily involving European colonial powers—Britain and France—and local Indian kingdoms. These wars stemmed from rivalries over trade, political influence, and control of territories. The conflicts were part of the larger struggle for dominance in India, with the British eventually emerging victorious, establishing their colonial rule. The wars shaped the regional power dynamics and marked the beginning of British supremacy in India.
