Answer 1

Hint:The Carnatic wars pertains to a sequel of military confrontations that were held between 1745 and 1763. The first Carnatic war was fought between the British East India Company and the French East India Company. It was an off-shot of the Austrian War of Succession on the Indian front. It initiated with the English seizing of the French ships that was redressed by the latter by taking possession of Madras.

Complete answer:
As the war in Europe arrived at a climax with the decision of the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748, the First Carnatic war also came to the horizon. The Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle was solely an armistice and it was infringed by both the French and British. Britain and France ratified the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle and accordingly, peace was rebuilt in India agreeably.
By the treaty, Madras was ceded to the English in the trade of Louisbourg in America to France greatly against the desires of Dupleix. Thus, climaxed the foremost Carnatic war between the English and the French. It was neither a conclusive war nor it gave rise to any modification in the territorial ownership of either group.

Note:Yet it was vital in some additional respects. The English and the French came to understand the geographical characteristics of the sovereignty expanding over almost one hundred miles around the centres of their capacity. It also uncovered to them the military shortcoming of the Indian rulers. This Carnatic war also provoked the greediness of the English and the French corporations for territorial development in India.
