This war broke soon after the beginning of seven year war of Europe. French appointed count Lolly as governor and during this period English had established their supremacy over Bengal and financially very strong.
On 1st May 1758, Lolly had won over the fort of St. David but the battle of Wandivaas on 22nd June 1760 proved to be the decisive battle and the fate of French was finalized. The victor of Wandivaas, Iyer went a step further and won over small colonies of French. English also got hold over Jinji, Mahe and Pondicherry, these were returned to French after the treaty of Paris.
