The British East India Company defeated the French forces at the Battle of Wandiwash in 1760 in the Third Carnatic War, ending almost a century of conflict over French supremacy in India.

The Battle of Wandiwash was a decisive victory for the British and marked the turning point in the Third Carnatic War. The battle was fought on January 22, 1760, between a British force led by General Eyre Coote and a French force led by the Comte de Lally. The British were victorious, and the French army was routed.
