The struggle started in India after English fleet under Bernet took over the French ships.The French had surrounded Madras from both sides,land as well as sea and forced them to surrender. This war was going on in the state of newly appointed nawab Awar ud din of Carnatic.The English requested nawab to intervene, then Anwar ud din ordered French to remove the build up around Madras but Duplex refused to do so. The nawab sent a huge army who were defeated by the French army in St. Thome.
The war of Carnatic ended with the end of war in Europe. The succession war of Austria ended with the treaty of Aix-La-Chapelle (1748) and Madras was returned to English, thus first stage of struggle ended and no side gained territorial expansion.
